SEE HERE - https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/387955-EDDI-2-4-Bring-your-cockpit-to-life
---old version information follows---
I'm pleased to announce that EDDI 2 is available.
EDDI is a program that enhances your Elite experience by reacting to events within the game. Carrying out actions like jumping to a new system, buying and selling commodities, and many more will trigger voice responses. EDDI uses the Frontier companion API as well as the journal log introduced in 2.2 to obtain information and track your actions.
EDDI also integrates with third-party systems such as EDDN, EDSM and EDDB. What this means in practice is that you not only contribute data to trade and exploration tools but you benefit from the information provided by them to give you a richer experience.
You can download EDDI from http://www.mcdee.net/elite/EDDI.exe
More details on installing EDDI: https://github.com/cmdrmcdonald/EliteDangerousDataProvider#eddi-the-elite-dangerous-data-interface
More details on using EDDI with VoiceAttack: https://github.com/cmdrmcdonald/EliteDangerousDataProvider/wiki/VoiceAttack-Integration
Troubleshooting common EDDI problems: https://github.com/cmdrmcdonald/Eli...lob/master/TROUBLESHOOTING.md#troubleshooting
The easiest way to explain some of what what EDDI does is to see it in action. Here are some sample videos:
Scanning a star:

Scanning a planet:

Leaving supercruise and docking at Jameson Memorial:

Docking, providing traders with information on what to buy and sell:

Leaving dock, reminding you about your lack of limpets before you reach that asteroid field:

Configuring VoiceAttack to automatically stow your landing gear when you undock:

If you are familiar with EDDI 1 then a big difference is that EDDI is no longer dependent on VoiceAttack. It still provides a VoiceAttack plugin and all existing functionaltiy in EDDI 1 is present in EDDI 2, however EDDI can also run standalone and does not require VoiceAttack to operate. The way that EDDI 2 operates inside VoiceAttack is also much simplified, and allows users to create their own responses to events very easily. More details on using EDDI with VoiceAttack can be found at [URLhttps://github.com/cmdrmcdonald/EliteDangerousDataProvider/wiki/VoiceAttack-Integration/URL]
Regardless of if you are using EDDI with VoiceAttack or standalone, you should start by firing up the EDDI application so that you can configure the relevant information. Note that you should not have the EDDI application running at the same time as VoiceAttack.
Obviously, if there are any problems with it please let me know. Equally, all feedback is very much appreciated.
