VoiceAttack (available on Steam, or stand-alone[voiceattack.com]) allows for voice control/macros in a variety of games and software!

Once you download it, feel free to add or change commands! This profile implements every core feature except for reroute.



(I wanted to upload the profile directly to the guide, but it isn't an image, screenshot, or video)

Most voice commands can be issued in a variety of ways. In general, the more difficult a command is to process, the stricter the vocabulary of the command is! Feel free to add (or remove) different ways of issuing commands for yourself - everything is neatly categorized and labeled.

Strict Example: To select an item to the right (basically, to press the right arrow on the keyboard), you can say:

• Right
  
• Direction Right

Moderate Example: To go back (escape key):

• Back
  
• Go Back
  
• Take Me Back

Loose Example: Swapping to System View (in the map):

• System
  
• System View
  
• Switch To System View
  
• Go To System View
  
• Show Me System View
  
• Show Me The System
  
• Show Me The System View

Basic Keyboard Commands
Use these to navigate around menus that require direction keys!
If there is difficulty recognizing a direction (since shorter words are harder to recognize), add "Direction" in front (example: Direction Down)

• Up
  
• Down
  
• Left
  
• Right
  
• Continue
  
• Enter
  
• Validate
  
• Save

Phonetic Alphabet
Select different ships/systems in the map by using the phonetic alphabet[www.worldometers.info]!
Examples: Foxtrot will select the ship with an F next to it

Ship Commands
Reminder - there are many ways to execute commands! Most views can be prefaced with "Switch To", "Go To", "Show Me", "Show Me The", "Open", and "Open The". To see the full list of options (or make your own), edit your profile through VoiceAttack!

Prefix/Suffix
All remaining commands involve a target room, door, airlock, or drone. Due to limitations with pattern recognition, only one target can be selected at a time (open one door, close one airlock, open all doors, navigate one drone to one drone/room/door, etc.)

Possible targets are:

• Airlock 1-10
  
• All Doors
  
• Door 1-30
  
• d 1-30
  
• Drone 1-4
  
• 1-4
  
• Room 1-15
  
• r 1-15
  
• Current Drone
  
• Clear

Possible Prefixes (commands with a target) are:

• Dock At (Airlock)
  
• Place A Flag At (Room)
  
• Information For (Drone) (this means you have to say "information for current drone" if you are in drone view)
  
• Navigate (Drone) To/Through ()
  
• Open (Door/Airlock)
  
• Close (Door/Airlock)
  
• Decontaminate (Room)
  
• Fire The Cannon At (Room)
  
• Overload Systems In (Room)
  
• Remote Power (Room)
  
• Transport (Drone) To (Room)
  
• Initiate Teleport To (Room)
  
• Pry Open (Door)

On My Mark
Sometimes Duskers gets tense, and you might want to prepare a command ahead of time!
For all commands with a specified Target, you can add "On My Mark" to the end of the command, and VoiceAttack will wait to execute the command until you say "Mark", "Execute", or "Engage". You can also say "Cancel" to cancel the mark, or it will automatically cancel after 10 seconds!

Great for when you need to close or open a door fast without stopping...

VoiceAttack is most well known for having a bunch of profiles for space games (Elite Dangerous, No Man's Sky, Star Citizen, etc.) which not only allow for voice control, but are partially or fully voice by famous sci-fi actors (William Shatner, Brent Spiner, Claudia Christian, and a whole bunch more).

While none of those voice packs are for Duskers, if you happen to have any of these voice packs for other games, you can access all soundbytes used by going to

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\VoiceAttack\Sounds\

This profile uses none of these voicelines, since they are not free or public, however it does make brief use of (windows assistant?) for vocal communication. If you wish, feel free to expand the use of dialogue - my personal profile adds a bunch of soundbytes from several Elite Dangerous profiles to give a truly immersive experience!

I'd love some! This is my first custom VoiceAttack profile, and I just made it because I think it's a fun, immersive way to play a niche drone game that I enjoy. Please let me know what you think!
