Step 1 Download Voice Activiation Command Software

I simply googled the term, and Voice Activated Commands came up as the first choice. This program serves a useful purpose in RPGs and other computer games where voice commands can be given rather than typing in key combos. For this project, it can be used to cast "spells" on your computer to manipulate it to do your bidding.

VAC Download Page

It's currently only available for Windows XP and Vista.

I used evanesco to minimize the browser instead, since Reducio wouldn't pick up.

The download link in the instructable is linking to an old page. The correct download page is http://www.dwvac.com/download.html and the newest download file is http://www.dwvac.com/VAC_Full_2.5.0.zip

The link in the article is http://www.dwvac.com/download.htm when it should be http://www.dwvac.com/download.html . So when you go to the old page, it is linking to an old install file which is no longer being served on the server.

I should think that "Avera Kedavera" would probably cause a system crash. Wouldn't it?

[thepelton]

What if you used "Stupefy" ?

For those of you disappointed for it not having certain functions. Just write a simple c++ app that does the command you desire. Then have VAC execute the app.

C++ is easy to learn for beginners so if you don't have coding experience don't be scared off by this option. Simple programs such as one to do a basic command could be learned in a matter of hours. Just make sure you start off with the classic "Hello World" :D and you'll be fine.

The VAC builder won't open. It says "Component 'MSINET.Ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid" I've run the repair on the installer several times and i still get this message.

[johndenzell123]
