Alternatives to SRBox for voice-trigger?

[Luiz Henrique M. do Canto Pereira]

Hi Chris,

For button-press input I have been using a 6 buttons gamepad (here in Brazil you
can buy it for US$ 7.00) conected to he gameport and so far it works pretty
well, the only problem is that it takes a little effort to configure it as a
port device; by the way you'll need a sound card with a gameport (I use a
Crystal Encore, around US$ 10.00).
Wish you luck,

Luiz Henrique
