Overlay Window for Elite Dangerous?
« on: September 17, 2023, 01:45:35 PM »
Having to Alt-Tab out of ED to see what VoiceAttack thought I said is a pain. Also, having the ability to overlay VA on ED would allow me to record what's recognized or not so HCS can help troubleshoot problems.

Could be helpful in other games as well.

Is this option available?

If not, it's an enhancement request!
Cheers

You could try right-clicking the titlebar of VoiceAttack's main window and choosing "Always on Top". Depending on how the game is configured, this may allow the window to remain visible while the game window has focus.

If that is applicable to your target application, you may also wish to make VoiceAttack's main window translucent by using the "Perform a Window Function" action to set its opacity to something other than 100%

@Jibsman - If you get that to work, you might also appreciate the Compact Mode option - it only displays the last entry in the VoiceAttack Event Log, such as the most recent thing you said (even if unrecognized):
