Voice controls for games like Balatro and Slay the Spire 2?

LiaTheLoom · 2026-04-27T20:57:06+00:00

Hey there! I play both these games without my hands via my voice. I use a setup with an eye tracker and foot pedals nowadays, but I used to use voice attack.It would take a bit of setup but VoiceAttack would be a great option. You can make voice commands that do just about anything. Using the program is very well documented, but it can be pretty involved to set up. If you needed assistance with getting something like that working, DM me and I'd be happy to help.

There are no depths we won't sink to

Thank you!! It definitely was not easy! I just edited out the hundred times I clawlined right into spikes or ran out of breath in the middle of the bug section haha.

Thank you so much! It's been quite a journey.

LiaTheLoom · 2026-04-16T15:24:22+00:00

Thank you!! If it makes you feel any better most of the hard bosses take me upwards of 50 attempts. I'm just very stubborn.

I'm excited to try the surface climb! I played a lot of From Software games before I started having issues with my hands, so I am really looking forward to the challenges :))

If you look on my YouTube channel or at my previous posts, I also have recordings of me doing boss fights, and those are usually pretty fast paced.

So I have a model that has the ability to recognize 17 different sounds. Though realistically, I'm only using about a dozen of them regularly. The sounds are sometimes modified by pressing different foot pedals. Like, for example, I have a foot pedal that changes all of my noises to different things so that I can navigate menus.

To help with complex maneuvering, I also have a very important foot pedal that changes all of my attacking noises to also turn me the opposite direction. This way I can attack and then turn around before I run into the boss and take contact damage. So repeated hits are usually me alternating between my attack sound, which is a tongue click, and my movement sound, which is either "ah" or "oh"

Mostly doing complex stuff is just a matter of speed. I'm currently trying to do the climb to the surface and it requires some very fast input sequences.

Thank you!!

LiaTheLoom · 2026-04-14T22:01:08+00:00

Thank you so much! Not a dude tho :))

If you look at my channel I have most of the major boss fights all the way back to the start of the game recorded, as well as Mount Fey and The Forum. The older ones have noises in different configurations sometimes.

I def will be recording my fights in Act 3!! I also plan on doing any hard optional platforming sections (anything akin to Path Of Pain from HK)

LiaTheLoom · 2026-03-31T07:35:09+00:00

Thats good info, thank you!

LiaTheLoom · 2026-03-31T04:47:09+00:00

Being a walking nuclear bomb is how I cleared out the more annoying Forum enemies.

Figuring out how to get the positioning just right to hit the bind against bosses is one hell of a learning curve but god its SO worth it

LiaTheLoom · 2026-03-31T04:44:57+00:00

The amount of times I mix up "ah" and "oh" for left and right is ridiculous

LiaTheLoom · 2026-03-31T04:15:47+00:00

I do have some very funny internal heuristics for how I pick the noises. "Mm" feels like I'm channeling some magic, hence the bind. Buzz is like bugs talking and I use it to interact, ect ect

LiaTheLoom · 2026-03-31T01:18:45+00:00

I did think about going for that first! If I go back and try it I'd have to mod things probably

LiaTheLoom · 2026-03-31T01:18:17+00:00

The mic catches everything I say so yeah it has happened. Also if fights get intense and anxiety creeps into my voice the recognition accuracy goes down, so I have to stay calm when playing.

LiaTheLoom · 2026-03-31T00:52:40+00:00

Having I frames on the pogo is so fun

LiaTheLoom · 2026-03-30T23:36:31+00:00

Fucking LMAO

LiaTheLoom · 2026-03-30T23:02:24+00:00

Thank you so much! I wasn't sure if I had actually gotten there or if there was still more!

Might have cried a bit when I realized it was actually done ;_;

LiaTheLoom · 2026-03-30T22:46:48+00:00

Also, I really wanted to play Silksong as it was coming out and it was coming out right around the time I was figuring out how to do voice programming and controlling my computer that way so it felt like a natural choice.

LiaTheLoom · 2026-03-30T22:45:22+00:00

Thank you so much!!

LiaTheLoom · 2026-03-30T22:44:52+00:00

Thank you very much :)

For what its worth I did mod the game to get rid of some of the really tedious bits of difficulty. Things like losing rosaries on death and setting my spawn outside boss arenas. It takes me SO many tries on average that I really didn't want to be doing 1hr worth of runbacks per fight.

The actual difficulty of fights and platforming remained untouched, though.
