Casting spells with my voice in Hogwarts Legacy is very silly, kinda cool

pcgamer.com:

 Today I learned that I'd probably be a terrible wizard in the Harry Potter world. As appealing as flying brooms and getting wasted on butterbeer sounds, I'd unfortunately fail step one: say the spell correctly. I've been trying out a new Hogwarts Legacy mod that lets you cast spells with your voice, and it's a real stickler for pronunciation.

Just like Hermoinie in that one part from Harry Potter that is stuck in my brain forever because it'd play over and over again on ABC Family, the VoiceSpells mod(opens in new tab) for Hogwarts Legacy is keen to remind me that "it's Leviosa, not Leviosaaaaaa(opens in new tab)". As I sat at my PC desperately yelling «Confringo» into a mic while goblins impaled me with axes, I felt for Ron.

At first I instinctually blamed the mod (which works by hooking into Windows' existing voice recognition systems) for every unrecognized command, but it worked consistently enough on other spells that I think I was having my own «Leviosa» moment. I know that I tend to mumble through my words, but it was tough to listen back to myself and accept that what I was saying sounded more like «Cnfrengo» or «Kafrego» depending how lazily I belted it out. When I'd slow down, take a beat, and produce the entire word, it'd actually work darn well. I even got the killing curse Avarda Kedavra to work on my second try.

Watch my mediocre spellcasting skills below (and if you're having trouble viewing the video, here's another way to watch it(opens in new tab)). 

There's enough of a delay that you probably don't want to use it for combat, but I can definitely see leaning on this for everyday Hogwarts puzzle solving. The voice commands coexist with your normal controls, so you can still manually cast spells too.
