Guidelines for Move Input via Voice Control

Speak with exaggerated clarity in English short notation to enter moves, such as "Pawn d four," "Pawn d five," "Knight f three," etc. Saying "Pawn" isn’t strictly necessary, but it may help the program understand you better.

 

For a capture move, say the following: "Knight takes f three."

 

If the program has trouble recognizing your moves, you can try the following phonetic alphabet alternatives:

Alpha instead of A, Bravo instead of B, Charlie instead of C, Delta instead of D, Echo instead of E, Foxtrot instead of F, Golf instead of G, and Hotel instead of H.

 

The window displays activity received via the microphone. The program also understands "New Game," "Take Back," "New Line," and "End Line."
