There is also another trick. Open up Microsoft's speech dictionary and add a word manually or you can prevent a word being recognized. Very handy.
The Voiceattack Discussion Thread
- Thread starter Spiggs
- Start date
I bought VoiceAttack! yesterday. I then spent a little while setting it all up. I then realised that for single button press commands it's not much use. Just a gimmick really.
But for multi-button presses! It contains all the Win!
Now, where is this speech dictionary of which you tell?
ED Not Responding to Commands
I'm trying to set up Voice Attack, Have followed all instructions, Voice Attack is working, Its recognising my commands and sending the specified keybinds.
However ED is not responding to the keybinds.
Voice Attack is set to run as administrator, have tried using active window and sending keys direct to ED Client with no effect.
I can send keys to notepad and it will respond by typing the keys sent.
But ED seems to be completely ignoring them.
Any help appreciated
Thanks.

There is a radio button in the settings somewhere to change how the keys are sent. Mine was DX by default (I think it was DX). Have you tried that?
My view is that removing hands from Joystick/throttle to the keyboard is needless with VA, plus I am seriously considering Oculus Rift then it gets to consumer version. VA will be awesome then.
Many thanks, I am glad I was able to help.
I think I had to increase the press time to 0.2 sec when i set mine up. (will double check when i get home)
Also, double check that your key choices are actually set to the function you want in Elite's Control mapping list.

Pretty sure I have tried both methods, will double check if and when im able to login to ED again, right now I just keep getting "Unexpected server Error: LengthRequired"
I agree that, with the Rift, using the keyboard will be difficult, but without it VA is just so much slower for navigating the side panels. Don't get me wrong, I am lovin' it, lovin' it, lovin' it.
If a "length" is required, give it one and see what happens.
I was going to suggest this as well. I know I had to increase the press time when setting up my VA
Ben,
I had a similar issue and it turned out that my Mic output was to low, you can see in VA in the lower part of its window if its picking up your voice.
Another thing to check, VA has two input modes for key presses : Standard and DirectX. Try alternating between these two modes.

I currently use the Joystick 'Hat thing' and trigger for the side panels so that isn't an issue for me at the moment. But i do VA to get to the side panels.
However: I hear that lateral thrusters mapped to the joystik 'hat' is a good option for dogfighting, so I may have to readdress my control/VA choices.
Fixed
Ok the dx mode did the trick, all is working. strange, I'm sure I tried that already.
All I need now is a keybind to request docking to the station im aproaching
Many Thanks

The LenghtRequired error was from The ED server while trying to login to ED, not from VoiceAttack.
All is working now
Thanks
thanks all for the help
the voice training definitely made a difference - the word it doesn't seem to like for me is "weapons" which is rather crucial
will have another run through the voice training and practice a bit more
HOWEVER - i have decided that my mic is indeed a pile of crap - so would welcome any suggestions for a good quality mike/headset combo
cheers

There's a touch of Pavel Chekov about you
Varp Speed, Veapons. Just don't try copying his superb "Pavel Chekov authorisation code 9-5-Wiktor-Wiktor-2".Glad you got there in the end.
I am considering trying a "Request Docking" halfway house, myself. As it stands VoiceAttack doesn't know where you will be in a side panel, so can't macro to the "Request Docking" option. But, if you get as far as highlighting the station, "Select - Down - Select" should request docking clearance, and then you gets to say "Hello, Is it me you're looking for?" or whatever floats your 'Bra.
Will be giving this a go laters.
I wonder if the devs would consider doing a deal with the guys at VA to make it a part of the released game?
It may also be of some help that VA recognises phonetic spelling too which is useful if you have an accent. So you can enter commands like this;
Remember, VA is listening not for what you say, but how you say it, so if you examine how you actually say different phrases phonetically you can improve VA's hit rate at understanding you. It really worked for me.
Hope that helps
When I say: Shields;Sheeelds
or
When I say:Landing gear;Landing Geer;Landing Gia
