Caster gives you the power to control your computer by voice. Take control of your applications, games, mouse and keyboard to augment your workflow for every day activities or as an accessibility tool to develop applications entirely by voice built upon the Dragonfly framework.

  • Videos by the Caster Community:

  • Read the Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ

  • Getting started with Caster - ReadTheDocs

  • How to Speak Code - Example Document

  • Caster Command Reference Guides:

    • Caster - Universal navigation and editing - These voice commands are active all the time and provide input commands for letters, numbers, and punctuation, as well as the ability to easily manipulate windows and text.
      • window right moves the active window to the right-hand side of the screen.
      • prekris inserts a pair of brackets () and moves the cursor inside them.
      • shackle selects the current line
    • Applications - Application specific control - These commands are only activated when a particular program is the active window, and they provide support for text editors, IDEs, web browsers etc. For example, while the Sublime text editor is the active window, saying
      • find will execute a ctrl-f keystroke, bringing up the find and replace prompt,
      • open file will execute a ctrl-o keystroke,
      • edit next <n> - ctrl-d n times, selecting the next n instances of the currently selected word.
    • Program Languages - Language specific coding - These modules are activated and deactivated with the enable/disable <language> voice command. For example after saying enable python, the following commands become available for dictation:
      • for loop which will insert for i in range(0, ):
      • print to console - print()
      • open file - open('filename', 'r') as f:
  • Application or Language not supported?
