Notation Audio

Sort:

it would be kind of cool to have a setting to turn on notation audio... like Siri telling me the moves being made as I play... 

don't know anything about programming, but it seems like it would be easy to do?

would be super cool if you could pick the voice of one of your favorite players... Magnus Carlsen's voice... c4 e5 ... etc... happy.png

jajaja yes, it seems easy, but i do not know how it is done.

Yes, it has been suggested to make chess.com for the blind by saying the moves out loud and use the keyboard enter the moves, the player would copy the move on a board.

Is seems easy to do, I saw a rumor that a competitor chess site could do it, I never could get it to work.😑

i'm looking for audio versions of chess notations too and have not found any. maybe it's because i'm searching the wrong terms? if it's not out there yet, here's an idea - a podcast of chess notations of famous games to follow along with.

Agreed, I was thinking the same thing. Or an audiobook, seems like a good way to fall asleep too^^
