Hello! I was wondering if there are sample commands or functions available for downloading somewhere to import to my Voice Attack profile and learn from or use as templates? I find many Voice Attack functions too complicated for me as I have no coding experience whatsoever. I have looked at and tried to pick apart some downloadable profiles but they are just too overwhelming.

Some of the functions I am most interested in are how to paste dictation buffer into a text chat and how to set up confirmation and basic responses. (Yes, even this https://forum.voiceattack.com/smf/index.php?topic=2034.msg9507#msg9507 is too complicated for me. :(

Here's a great Youtube channel VA Tutorial. VA is pretty easy to get into. You don't need to know how to code.

There is also VA's Discord channel (https://discord.gg/v7qf36M) where you can ask questions of the group or just read along to learn more.

I strongly recommend that new folks read through the VA manual (pdf found in VA's root installation directory). Yes it's long, but it covers all the important stuff and more, and Gary injects his humor along the way.
