I’m excited that just a few days ago, chess.com created this feature that lets you say chess notation into your microphone and it plays the moves on the board!

Wasn't it implemented several months ago?

Maybe. Is this out or is it coming soon, @KeSetoKaiba?

No. The news article for this was updated yesterday, April 9th and I was upload in early April. https://www.chess.com/article/view/voice-control-chesscom
p.s. Maybe you’re in chess.com beta and got access to it before it was released publicly.

Nah, I have never joined beta but I have a link from January 2026:

https://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/how-to-use-the-new-chess-com-voice-input-feature

which now redirects to the new article, yee haw

UPDATE: I also remember reading this reference back then:

https://support.chess.com/en/articles/12872404-how-do-i-make-moves-using-my-voice

It is updated this week too. I think they added additional commands in this release extending functionality beyond making moves
