Audio blindfold chess with voice commands

Could you please recommend some engine to play blindfold chess in audio mode? Where I could listen to computer's moves and make moves by voice.

I never heard about it.Interesting. But it is possible if you do special request to a chess programmer or chess software company ( that would be much much expensive than a buying a regular chess program on the market).
Tasks they have to do are

  1. Find a open GPL GUI on github, e.g. Lucas chess
  2. Find a speech recognition software
  3. Write a javascript/ C++ code to connect the output from speech recognition software to GUI.

A complex task.

The strange thing for me if it doesn't exist. So many free chess programs with about the same features and no one for real blind chess which should be a unique feature...

Yes, I see some engines could play blind chess, but I can't see one which I can use by voice when I am hiking and don't want to watch at the display.

GMScuzzBall, thank you, this helps.

Unfortunately, I don't have Apple devices, so if you know about android applications with such functionality, please share the info.

Anyway, I will try on friends' devices...
