Saying "good game" via voice to text

I suffered a forearm injury today and the voice to text input has been helpful in allowing me to play without aggravating it further. Given that options such as "good game" and "well played" are canned responses in buttons on the web browser (as well as options at the beginning of the game such as "have fun"), would it be possible to recognize a voice input to "press" one of these buttons?

It is interesting. I never used it myself!

Sorry if this is an ignorant question, but why isn't there an option for saying gg, well played upon a win? I can only see "upon defeat" or "upon draw" as an option

Because that's bad manners

A bit like 'this is an excellent question ...' :)

Although you can have good intentions, it can be very patronising

Sometimes when I lose or it is a draw then also it does not say gg, well played.

I also checked my settings it is saying that I have clicked the option "DRAW AND DEFEAT"

Noone ever tells me good game, but I was asked why I don't have shame and don't resign ಠ(ಠ

Patronizing to new players perhaps. Established players wouldn't mind this at all.
gg is just a way to say thanks, often the games wouldn't even be good to be characterized as good games, in a literal sense.
It would probably be easiest to replace it with "thank you for the game", but gg is kind of an established way of doing this already, so meh...
