How to: Voice attack to ignore me unless it hears a keyword or receives hotkey toggle press.

[davep...@gmail.com]

Hi,
Since i'm usually speaking over in game voice in Elite I dont want Voice Attack to randomly pick up things im saying to friends on the mic..

So what is the best way to have VoiceAttack ignore me unless I say a keywork like "computer" much like Startrek, and then auto go back to ignoring me after 5 secs..  Although a toggle hotkey for listneing/ignoring would also work for me..

Thanks in advance...

I'm just testing out the free version this weekend with some basic stuff like deploying landing gear or bringing up the Starmap etc..

Actually now i've dug into this I've found the keyboard, mouse and joystick modifiers for listen/ignore, but havent seen anything for a keyword so any help on that part would be great..

The "Override listening if my spoken command begins with:" option in <Profiles Options> <Profile General>  is probably what you're looking for, just put "computer" there and toggle listening off, then VA will only listen if your voice command starts with "computer".

Jorge is right... there is an option on the profile option screen just for that.  Also, if you want to use a hotkey, mouse or joystick button to turn on and off, 'listening', just check the options page.

Hope that helps!
