I have JUST purchased this software: https://store.steampowered.com/app/374400/
It's basically a voice-activated macro tool. Now I didn't buy it specifically for Fantasy Grounds, I just thought the tool might come handy for general stuff, but the first thing I tried was using it on FG.
At first I only set up a simple macro that whenever I'd say something like "open spellbooks" it would hit alt+ctrl+shift+f1 on FG that would be where my shortcut to spells is. It was nice and worked very well.
But then, I remembered I had this Voicemeeter setup to play sounds through a virtual audio output and decided to play with it a little and...
I've just set up that whenever I say "you cast a fireball" on my mic, it runs a fireball.wav file that plays through voicemeeter and delivers the sounds to TeamSpeak. So basically I'm playing sounds to my players just by saying usual things and not even having to remember the specific shortcut. So far I've set up sounds for "you unlock the door"(plays an unlocking sound), "the zombie attacks", "a zombie appears" (makes a zombie moaning sound), "you cast a lightning bolt"(thudersound.wav).
The softwares I'm using are: VoiceBot(for voice macro activation), VoiceMeeter(virtual audio, makes my sound play as if it was sent on my mic), VLC Media Player (just my standard media player, it lets me play sounds via VoiceMeeter) and TeamSpeak.
So, I decided to share this with all of you because I'm yet to unlock the software's full potential and you guys might have cool ideas to use it. ;)
