Voice Attack: Awesome with issues

[Tnadz]

I just started using Voice Attack which basically just uses good old windows speech engine and allows you to send commands in game. I could probably tinker or look online for similar software but the guy only wants $8 and it works.

Anyway, I started using it in NR2K3 for simple stuff like selecting and using pit menus and more advanced things like throwing a caution or clearing a black flag. After some tweaking it works beautifully and I don't have to try and type commands in while racing. I imagine this would be great for those with a setup that makes it difficult to reach their keyboard or if they have a Logitech wheel that stops passing the wheel button key bindings along.

So that's the good. Only issue I have so far is using arrow keys in menu. For the life of me I can't get them to work. Anyone else work with this (or similar) software? I'll keep playing around with it to see what I can figure out.

I personally use xpadder which allows me to remap buttons on a controller or steering wheel to whatever I want. I have all the important f-keys, arrow keys, camera views, and stuff mapped on my 360 controller so I never have to touch the keyboard while racing.

Also this section is for resources (like carsets, tracks, mods, etc. ) so might better to have it moved to the NR2003 discussion section).

Well specifically I was looking at voice command software but that one looks good too. And while my question was somewhat specific to nascar, I meant it to be broad based. Is there a hardware/software section I should post in?

I think anything software related to NR2003 just goes in the discussion section unless you are doing a tutorial for the specific program. Then it would go in the tutorials section.

OK, after rereading the rules sticky for this subsection I can see what you're saying. I kind of thought if it was specific to NR2K3 it would go under the NR2k3 section. But, meh. Could a moderator show some love please?
