Voice Chess Play vs VocalChess

Voice Chess Play is the chessboard that listens. Speak as you would to a playing partner, "Pawn to e4", "Take it with the knight", "Castle kingside", and the move is played on the board. The computer answers, and the game goes on. PLAY BY VOICE • Natural-language commands: "Knight to f3", "The pawn goes to e4", "Take the bishop", "Promote to queen" • Understands spoken coordinates: "f three", "see six", "b four" • When two pieces can make the same move, the app asks which one you mean instead of guessing • Short spoken replies: the opponent's move, check, checkmate, draw • You can always tap the pieces or type the command instead PICK YOUR OPPONENT • Strength from 200 to 3400 Elo with a slider and presets, from beginner to near-maximum engine • Play as White, Black or random • The computer plays sensible moves for the chosen level, never random blunders NEVER LOSE A GAME • Automatic save after every move, even if you close the app or a call comes in • Resume exactly where you left off • History of all your games with date, color, opponent and result SIMPLE AND CLEAR • Large board with easy-to-read letters and numbers on every side • Interface in English and Italian, following your phone's language • No account, no sign-up, no connection needed to play • Full rules: castling, en passant, promotion, stalemate, threefold repetition, fifty-move rule Great for training board visualization, for playing hands-free, or for anyone who finds it more natural to say a move than to drag a piece. Speech recognition uses the system's services. Microphone permission is needed only to hear your moves; the app keeps no audio. Voice Chess Play è software libero (GPLv3).

Play chess against a chess engine on your iPhone by speaking your moves. Say "knight f3", and the move lands on the board. The engine answers aloud, so you can keep your eyes off the screen. VocalChess is built for players who want to play hands-free and train blindfold: holding the position in your head. Say it the way you think it • Pieces: "knight f3", "bishop takes e5", "knight b takes d2". • Pawns: "e4", "e takes d5". When only one move can capture on a square, "takes d5" is enough. • Castling: "castle kingside", "castle queenside". Promotion: "e8 promotes to queen". • Your words appear on screen as you speak, and the app waits while you pause mid-move. • Say "undo" or "take back" to take a move back, or "resign" to end the game. You can also tap the board. It asks before it guesses • When the app is sure, the move plays at once. • When it isn't, it asks "Did you say …?" and you answer yes or no, by voice or by tap. • When nothing legal matches what it heard, it shows "Say again". It never plays a move you did not say. Choose your game • Tap the play button for a new game: pick one of six levels, from Novice to Master, and play as White, Black or Random. • Step back through the game with the move buttons, or say "back", "forward", "start" or "latest". Looking back never changes the game. • Close the app mid-game and pick up where you left off. Hear the game • The engine's reply is read aloud in a natural voice that runs on your iPhone: "Black, knight f6". Check and the result of the game are read too. • Turn on "Speak my moves" to hear your own moves read back as well. • You can talk over the app while it speaks. Blindfold • Tap the eye to hide the pieces. The squares and coordinates stay; the position lives in your head. • With the board hidden, every move is read aloud, yours included. Private and offline • No account, no ads, no tracking, no in-app purchases. The app sends only anonymous usage counts, never what you say, and Settings turns them off. VocalChess runs on iPhone with iOS 26.5 or later, and hears and speaks moves in English.
