Voice Attack text Voice Attack text

[AndrewF]

I'm using Voice Attack for the controls that I can't fit on my HOTAS setup... But...
.
.
Does anyone have a Voice Attack setup that will type what you speak, for text comms.
.
e.g. if you say, "Type hello." Voice Attack will put "hello" into the text comms box.
.
.
Anyone have anything like this?

Yep, i create va plugin.. that does stuff and say it to me..

Not really say what I said since it's just basically read a text file ...

But if you code, you can just write your custom va plugins..

What you are looking for is something more along the lines of a Speech-to-Text plugin, I imagine.
While I don't know of one myself, I would imagine that there must be one out there somewherez.

Otherwise, in the interim, you can always pre-program some text responses with voice attack, but would probably need to tell the system to type it out for you or something.

Hey Andrew,

I posted this for someone over on the Oculus forum -

You can give my profile a try if you want. Typing is done either though the phonetic alphabet or just saying the letter. 'Type A' 'Alpha' it also includes a large amount of the popular systems, just say 'Lave station' 'Sol' 'Anarchy system' It will type and then lock onto system giving you details about the trade routes

For chatting just say 'open comms' then 'type Hello' etc etc

roughly 3000 commands optimized for DK2 use

Thanks for the answers.

And thank you 777Driver for the profile.

So, basically the profile needs to have all the phrases, words or letters that you want individually entered in the profile.

For my method it does, but I've done all the letters and keyboard presses. For phrases, all the most common one's are in there, you can modify or add your own. It would be great if we had a central place to share profiles, am sure that many profiles are just duplicating the same stuff.

I would suggest only importing what you need from my profile, many functions are designed for my HOTAS/Keyboard setup, and also require specific sound files on my computer.

The beta of voice attack has some dictation features. Look here : https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/voiceattack/jcdJJ4nwiVk. It has some actions for starting and stopping and storing the speech to text. There is even a newer beta out now it looks like.

Here's a link to a fairly recent thread detailing how to paste text into the comms box from VoiceAttack.

I'd be inclined to hold off on doing too much right now with regard to comms, as the HUD for the comms system changes in beta 1.2, so the required key presses may turn out to be a bit different, and you'd have to recode them. Or, mess about with it for a week just to get the feel of things - the choice is yours!

Using info from the above thread, I can now send a random greeting to another Commander using one voice command. My level of use of VA is nowhere near that of 777's, he has gone much further than I've been able to (hat's off to him!), but stick with it, there's loads of things you can do

I've recently rebuilt my PC, but what I started working on was composed commands. I had 3 profiles, a "hub" profile, a map profile, and a messaging profile.

For the messaging profile I had two command prefixes, one that opens the chat window, and another that does nothing for when I've manually started the conversation; and multiple command suffixes for the message I wanted to send, "Hello", "I'm using a Rift", etc.

I can then say "message rift" and my target would receive "I'm using a Rift, I may be slow to respond".

In the map profile I did something similar, prefixes of "Alpha, "Beta", "Gamma", etc., and suffixes of "Indi", "Phoenicis". The prefixes typed out with a trailing space, and the suffixes had a trailing enter to submit. This lets me select "Epsilon Eridani", "Alpha Centauri", etc quite easily. I also started add "LHS", "LTT" as prefixes, and some of the numbers I encountered as suffixes, but I'll wait until I grab the version with dictation support and make my life a little easier. Naturally I added systems with simple names without the prefix/suffix set up.

just wondering if anyone got the dictation command working in VA, for speaking messages rather than typing them, and if so, any sample profiles to be had. thanks.

How would one go about doing this? I mainly use C# for everything, which I actually think is what VoiceAttack was written in. I wasn't aware that there was an API to use for it, though.

new feature in VA is rthe dictation mode, already in "other" commands. A new beta might be out today with some tweaks, but i got this example of how it works.

So I've managed to create commands that let Anna record your dictation and get that onto your windows clipboard, even if windows 7 makes a pig's ear of what you're saying.





The problem comes when you try to paste that into the Arena Commander chat because that simply doesn't accept copy pastes.

Until you can copy paste into the chat, VoiceAttack won't be able to create your messages I'm afraid. Shame, it would be a nice addition. I'll check it with each new release and get it all sorted once/if CIG add the paste function into it's chat box.» show previous quotes
Indeed. I'm looking forward to building some FPS functionality as well.

Thanks Monkeh, although it might not be that useful in SC now, i am sure it will be when wingmen are introduced, but for now, i can test that in Elite Dangerous, where it will be very useful, maybe even in the galaxy map. (if windows is accurate enough for the map, although most names even i can't pronounce) Thanks again, at least it looks simple enough, i thought there would be more to it.

Just seen this on VA forum, so looks like new beta today with some tweaks.

Can you paste text in E (like with CTRL + V or SHIFT + Insert) ?

If so, it should work. I have some tweaks that I've done that will be in the next beta (hoping for getting it out today).
