Signal: Match with the game dictionary. Application: Say “jump”, “stop”, “shield” for direct control. Access level: Recognition. <a id=\"variant-mic-041\"></a>\n- Selecting a replica. Signal: Recognizes one of the displayed responses. Application: Answer a character or select a menu item out loud. Access level: Recognition. <a id=\"variant-mic-042\"></a>\n- Addressing by name. Signal: The name of the object or character. Application: Tell who to move or what item to take. Access level: Recognition. <a id=\"variant-mic-043\"></a>\n- Action with parameters. Signal: Verb, target, number, direction. Application: Order “two steps to the right” or “turn the red valve.” Access level: Recognition. <a id=\"variant-mic-044\"></a>\n- Command queue. Signal: Recognized sequence. Application: Pre-program the robot's route with a few phrases. Access level: Recognition. <a id=\"variant-mic-045\"></a>\n- Conditional order. Signal: A limited construction of condition and action. Application: Say “if you see the enemy, hide” and check the execution. Access level: Recognition. <a id=\"variant-mic-046\"></a>\n- Correction and cancellation. Signal: Correction commands in the current context. Application: Cancel an order or clarify the target by voice. Access level: Recognition. <a id=\"variant-mic-047\"></a>\n- Activation word. Signal: Keyword before the main command. Application: Contact the game assistant without turning any speech into action. Access level: Recognition. <a id=\"variant-mic-048\"></a>"},{"id":"context","title":"Context and limits","body":"Author's design map for mobile games and interactive applications. 144 techniques in 18 groups, including basic signals, rules and combinations.
