Controlling FM with a microphone?

SI Forum's user wants to minimise the use of a keyboard and a mouse

Football Manager - whether we want it or not - is starting to follow the technological trends on the gaming market. For one of FM fans it is happening too slowly and because of his life experiences he would like to start a revolution.

It is definitely an appropriate word for an idea of controlling the game with... your voice! The scheme laid out by the author firstly planned for it to be used for the continue button, inbox or leagues. It is not everything, since other players decided to go one step further and want the press meetings, team talks and even the matches itself to work the same way.

Even though the basic reason why the author of the idea came up with it seems quite small and even funny (not being able to use the mouse because of playing in a horizontal position), it is still worth spending some time on looking at the technological possibilities of going through with the revolution. FM wouldn't be the first game which would have this addition implemented. Almost a year and a half ago Ubisoft released Tom Clancy's EndWar, where very much of the game is controlled by giving orders through a microphone. Microsoft went even further due to a project called Kinect, which is fully working through a microphone.

Technically it is very possible for FM to be controlled with our voice. However, the fans of this solution will probably have to forget about it, since the makers of the game don't seem to be taking the idea seriously. Nell Brock joked around actually accusing the author of being lazy. What do you think about such revolution?
