Using Voice Attack to send text

[Hemlock]

I just downloaded the trial version, considering full.  What I mainly want to do is to be able to send strings of text quickly to other players in Elite Dangerous.  I set up a command called "Send Warning" which will advice the targeted player that he should submit to my interdiction and if he has no bounty he will not be harmed... etc.  

I typed it all in and then removed all of the pauses between keystrokes, but it still takes a long time to complete the text string.. much slower than typing it even.

Does anyone have any suggestions for this?  I am sure I am missing something.

I have a few that work fine and go out fast with VA, its a pain in the ass to make them wish VA would let us just type them in.

Was looking at this, not sure understand how it works but looks good

See Robert Scott's reply in this thread. I've changed a few of mine where I was doing the same thing in VA, one character at a time, and this works a lot better. Basically it's reading a pre-typed txt file you make and dumping it into the clipboard, and then VA uses paste (Control-V) to put it into the chat window. All VA  has to do is open the chat with the set hotkey, call this app, and then afterwards hit Enter to send.

I've been trying to see if I can generalize it even more, so that VA uses a prefix and then a suffix, and the suffix determine what text file is pulled up. No success yet, but even if you had to make a long list of suffix commands with their files, it's still a lot more graceful, and easier to modify the message, than the other way.

Just noticed Patrik had linked to same thread as I did. Definitely try it out.
