Voice Activated Sound Effects

[bencodrington]

Ideally, this would work by having a prominent 'microphone icon' button, that when clicked, would record the user saying something like 'and then lightning struck', extract keywords and then search the database, playing the top sound effect result.

This would be a huge advancement to many dm's tables, as it would allow you to avoid pausing the flow of narration even more, and having instant background sound effects.

I think this would eventually allow Phanary to reliably provide those moments where the music/sound effects coincidentally line up with your descriptions and your players look at you like you're some kind of real-world wizard.

How cool would that be.

Unfortunately, this would almost certainly require hooking in some sort of machine learning api, and so it is relatively low priority for now. But as soon as I get the opportunity to implement this, I will.
