Basically, title.

Just started playing Elite Dangerous again and saw someone using their voice to control the game. When I looked into it, they were using VoiceAttack but they were on Windows. I would love to use VoiceAttack or similar alternative for gaming. Looked just about everywhere (Reddit, YouTube, etc.) but the only thing I found was an archived thread on Reddit that seemed promising but it has been deleted (post was 4 years old).

    I found voice2json, though it looks like you’d have to do quite a bit of configuring.

    Don’t bother with VoiceAttack. It relies on the microsoft speech recognition engine, which is an ancient POS voice to text engine. I fiddled with it at one point and I never got it to work well. It’s nowhere near accurate enough to be pleasant to use.

      And you’ve used this with a game (or Elite)?

      Looks like this is the engine but you’d still have to the “rest of the car” together on your own. Am I reading that right?

        I literally just found it.

        It looks to be able to run commands based on voice input, so you’d just use commands that send the keyboard buttons you need.

        That’s what VoiceAttack does. It’s basically just macros triggered by voice.
