Voice commands on consoles, why does CM not implement it?

Hello Community, Hello Devs,

as I‘ve read in multiple posts, Codemasters blames the consoles for not supporting voice commands because their sdk does not deliver an API for onboard speech recognition. So dear devs at Codemasters, why don‘t you take matter in your own hands and work on a in game speech recognition across all platforms? This is a key feature of the game and 100% every gamer out there (at least in the next gen consoles) craves this. The newer consoles should be more then capable to handle speech recognition, since the game still runs on an older engine, so there should be more then enough processing power left. I mean, old gens can still run the game smoothly. 

Best Regards

  • Speech recognition is an incredibly specialised area of software development. It took Google's dedicated speech team about 6 years just to get English working well enough to put in a phone; Apple had to buy a whole company to get Siri. It would be madness to waste time trying to develop their own.

    Even though I’ve memorised the options i regularly use when manually selecting I still manage to crash at times
