A new idea for making chess.com better

Hi Chess.com team,

I have an idea that could improve accessibility and gameplay for many users, including those like me who are trying to reduce screen time. It would be amazing if Chess.com could integrate a voice control feature. This would allow players to make chess moves simply by speaking the moves out loud (e.g., "Move pawn to e4," "Knight to f3").

It would be particularly useful for players with accessibility needs and could provide a more immersive, hands-free experience for everyone. It could also be a great tool for improving focus and reducing distractions while playing.

I believe this could add significant value to Chess.com, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

Thanks for considering this suggestion!

Best regards,

Try this:

While improving accessibility is a good goal, when people talk about reducing screen time, they are generally suggesting that time spent away from any type of passive audio visual entertainment/ distraction can be highly worthwhile.

I think that your suggestion doesn’t really reduce your time engaged with a computer.

You could take a walk. Get outside. Go play a soccer game with your friends.

/ Chess.com does have an accessible move reader for the IOS app.
