Welcome back and o7, Commander!
I have never been able to get VA working on Linux. I've learned to play without it -- much as I've learned to play without eddb.io (RIP). There are some funky solutions involving VMs and passthrough that I've stumbled across before, but nothing that I've been willing to try worked well.
It’s a shame really. It’s not critical for gameplay but it would have been a great immersive experience.
I found voice2json, though it looks like you'd have to do quite a bit of configuring.
Don't bother with VoiceAttack. It relies on the microsoft speech recognition engine, which is an ancient POS voice to text engine. I fiddled with it at one point and I never got it to work well. It's nowhere near accurate enough to be pleasant to use.
And you’ve used this with a game (or Elite)?
Looks like this is the engine but you’d still have to the “rest of the car” together on your own. Am I reading that right?
I literally just found it.
It looks to be able to run commands based on voice input, so you'd just use commands that send the keyboard buttons you need.
That's what VoiceAttack does. It's basically just macros triggered by voice.
