Ahhh I was thinking that might be the case.

Now I just have no idea how to set it up, lol. Do you have a basic command list we can use?

I'm preparing a tutorial atm, also i will attach the default profile which was used in the demo

Looks and, more importantly, sounds really good! Can one include more radio channels manually? For example: CMDR Hugh Mann's youtube channel with his funny Elite parody songs?

Either way, a fantastic addition to the game. Congratulations!

I will contact him and see what can we do about it. Regarding the ability to add new radio channels this is a good feature to have I will think of something.

Thank you very much, I can't seem to create any commands at all. Nothing saves at the moment.

This might be impossible... but is there anyway to create a little window that can have youtube in it?
So I can watch youtube while playing.

Actually I intend to add a video player also. so I might customize something for the youtube as well.

That would be life changing.

A link to these forums would be lovely too, would stop me accidentally colliding with asteroids when im alt tabbing out

Totally curious....

Maybe I'm just really dumb

But I can't get this going at all. Using Windows 10.

Have installed Echo, and it launches displaying the overlay window in ED (Borderless mode)

BUT - I can't work out how to get it to respond to my commands, plus the ED controls seem to be completely locked out whilst Echo is running - and trying to add voice commands to Echo, it doesn't appear to be saving anything.

Is this evaluation version just limited to the Galnet and Radio commands it comes with?

Thanks for all your work - this looks really promising, if I could get it going

Tried and it is nice ! Good work.

Unfortunately, i will really use it when VA will be integrated. For now, i am putting it in a corner of my pc.

Still very good work !

I'm really confused, how is this different from a Voice attack profile? I mean main difference seems to be the overlay?

It is only an overlay by the looks of things, but he mentions he is looking to implement youtube further down the line so that could be huge for those of us without second monitors

Hrm, I wonder how overlays translate to VR

Exactly same boat as LuckyLuke, i REALLY like the look of this and want to use it V Much, but i can't get it to work and it stops me playing ED, so i have to shut the interface down.

Would really appreciate a Set-up guide or something to tell me what is wrong.

I would go as far to say i would pay for this software, but i would need a proper set-up guide and see it working in my environment of ED! Please Help?

Ofc you're not

currently there is a bug; app does not update the commands list after you save. if you restart the app you will find the commands you saved in the list. this will be fixed in the next update.

for the control lockout i will look into this one.

the evaluation version is not limited to Galnet and Radio you can create normal commands and dialogs and control keyboards and mouse clicks too.

ofc Voice attack is a very powerful app, however this is now a competetion area anymore since there are free apps and open sources that you can download for free and use it to send keyboard and mouse actions to any game.

The difference here might seems small, it's the GUI (the overlay) but actually i believe that this opens the door for a whole new level of features and possibilities for not just Elite Dangerous but for any game that you can fit a futuristic helmet within it's lore

You are completely right, I'm in the process of creating a tutorial videos and also releasing a new patch.
Actually my plans is to stabilize this version and work on your feedback until it's ready to be released and then I can charge for it, that's the idea behind the evaluation version.

For the updates and patches, my plan is to release updates every 3-5 days.

He is a moderator for the forum (so a mod

)

Olkan could you give us the text to make a single command to just open Galnet news? I cant figure out what command text I would need for it to open Galnet in space and speak the text like your video. I really want to give it a go as it looks like it would be great for the game

Shockbot · Feb 14, 2016

Awesome nice work! rep+1

How do you get the GalNet News Text into the Text-to-Speech software?

I am really curious about it because we could use it for a radio chattermod when the NPCs are talking with you

maybe with an Hologram of a face ^^ when they speak.

keep it up!

This is a quick tutorial on how to create command that opens galnet:
1. you will need to create a new command with the following:

Title: this is just for definition purposes, this has nothing to do with the voice recognition.
command text: this is where you need to add what are you going to say, you can add more than one option.

2. select "Predefined" from the "Select Sequence Type" list. because this is a custom command for ED.

3. here you can select the game which is related to this custom action, in ourcase now it's ED. Then hit save to add this action to the sequence list that will be executed.

4. Now you have a command with a single action to execute which is opening galnet.

Repeat the previous steps to add command for all the galnet news commands. the option you will miss will not be displayed on the GUI it will be blank, so make sure you add all if you want to use all galnet options.

Don't worry if it does now show in the "Existing Commands" tab ... this is the bug i was talking about earlier. if you restart the app it should appear. this is fixed but still waiting for publish.
