use a Wheel button to control speech listening
« on: January 20, 2018, 11:38:34 AM »
I like to turn off speech recognition while not needed while racing.  but I have only found a way to make that hot key a keyboard setting or a mouse/controller setting.  but it will not let me make a wheel on off button for speech recognition.

ok I figured out how to make a voice command to do that so I guess it is not needed.  in a future release wheels buttons should be supported for that but for now I think im good.

Any hardware that presents itself as a DirectInput device is supported by VoiceAttack.

To use a joystick-type device(Joystick, gamepad, steering wheel, etc..), you need to assign it to a VoiceAttack joystick slot first:
  • Click
  • in the "General" tab click "Joystick Options"
  • click the "+" symbol next to the gamepad icon
  • select your device from the list
  • click "OK"
  • enable the POV hat switches(if any)
  • click "OK" on the "Joystick Options"
  • finally click "OK" on the "Options" window.

Now you can assign joystick buttons to trigger commands by adding or editing a command, checking the "When I press button" option, pressing a button on your device, and clicking "OK"(Make sure to save the profile afterwards by clicking "OK" on the "Edit/Add a Command" window, and "Done" on the "Edit/Add a Profile" window).
