Never heard is cannon or maybe lost-tech, but there are a few voice command applications out there that can make your piloting a bit easier.

I just remember a novel where the pilot gives a password on the starting sequence, so it is cannon.

I don't know about anything new, but in the old days it took a long time to start-up a mech. You couldn't just say a word and it went on it's way from there. Mech security was a big deal.

yes i was a long ordeal to start a mech, but there was a pass phrase for them



"cast in the name of God.. ye not guilty"

That was part of the security system so your mech was less likely to get stolen. Imagine having a voiceprint on your car, it would be both awesome and really easy to unplug >_<

Now that you mention it, i think there was a star league neurohelmet that accepted voice commands for running the mech, but it didnt prove to be any more effective so it never took off.

I'm laughing just thinking about how that would look. Strangely smiling as well knowing someone will.

I'm sure you could setup Dragon NaturallySpeaking. Build voice command macros for the keyboard controls.

The match starts... The MW pilot stares blankly at the screens. Calmly shouts:

Awesome is over the ridge and foolishly in the open. Long range support prepare to engage on my mark."

"Mech: Target"

"Globalspeak: Mechwarriors there is no dishonor in powering down your mechs. This small outpost and planet is rightfully rule by House Kurita.
