## This does not work with Geforce Now
Nope. Just won’t. Geforce Now obviously has Elite’s files, journals and keybinds
stored on some random PC in the cloud. Your local VoiceAttack has no way of
accessing those.
If you can get VoiceAttack to run _on Geforce Now_ in parallel to Elite, I don’t
see why it wouldn’t work.
