This is a software that is created to help you control your game smoother. This software adds your voices as an extra controller with voice commands that are created by YOU. It takes your voice commands and translates them into keyboard presses. After that, the HCS VoicePacks will base on that command to give back a response.

In case you want to have full function trial you need to purchase a registration key, but the trial time is still 21 days. Being a gamer, I strongly recommend you to purchase this software. Its cost is $8 and you can use it for a very long time.
In addition to this software, there is a good free pack from Zenuel called Anubis. And you can look for the old community made pack called KICS to use, however, it seems to have disappeared.
