# Requirements
|
||
|
||
## VoiceAttack
|
||
|
||
Obviously you will need to install [VoiceAttack](https://voiceattack.com). There
|
||
is a free trial version available, but that one is limited to a single profile
|
||
and a few commands. This is 4 profiles and … a lot of commands. You will need the
|
||
full version, available for $10 (official site) or €11.99 (Steam, IIRC $14.99
|
||
for our US-based friends).
|
||
|
||
I recommend buying on the site. Why? Because on Steam, Valve gets a 30% cut.
|
||
Unlike many other developers Gary (the developer of VoiceAttack) remedies that
|
||
by having a price on Steam that ends up paying $10 to him. So basically, you are
|
||
paying Valve out of your own pocket. Many other developers do not do that, and
|
||
by buying from them directly instead of on Steam you are literally giving them
|
||
extra money. Please do keep that in mind in the future!
|
||
|
||
You also will generally need to opt into the beta version. I am usually at the
|
||
forefront of bug reports and feature requests, and I do rely on the
|
||
fixes/additions in beta versions quite often.
|
||
|
||
## EDDI
|
||
|
||
[EDDI](https://github.com/EDCD/EDDI) is a companion application for Elite:
|
||
Dangerous, providing responses to events that occur in-game using data from the
|
||
game as well as various third-party tools. In this case, you will need to run it
|
||
as a VoiceAttack plugin.
|
||
|
||
EDDI also regularly publishes beta versions. Unless a profiles release
|
||
explicitly states it you will _not_ have to run EDDI beta.
|
||
|
||
## bindED
|
||
|
||
[bindED](https://github.com/alterNERDtive/bindED) reads your Elite Dangerous
|
||
binding files and makes them available to VoiceAttack as variables. That way
|
||
commands can be portable and you do not have to manually go through them and
|
||
change any actions that you happen to not have the standard binds for.
|
||
|
||
This plugin is _included_ in the release package.
|
||
|
||
## Elite Scripts
|
||
|
||
I have written a [collection of Python
|
||
scripts](https://github.com/alterNERDtive/elite-scripts) to interface with
|
||
various 3ʳᵈ party services like EDSM or Spansh. Those are called by the profiles
|
||
for various tasks, like checking a system’s body count.
|
||
|
||
In the future they will be replaced by VoiceAttack plugin code.
|
||
|
||
The scripts are _included_ in the release package.
|
||
|
||
## ED-NeutronRouter
|
||
|
||
(required for SpanshAttack)
|
||
|
||
[ED-NeutronRouter](https://github.com/sc-pulgan/ED-NeutronRouter) interfaces
|
||
with [Spansh’s neutron plotter](https://spansh.uk/plotter) and makes the result
|
||
available to VoiceAttack.
|
||
|
||
This will also eventually replaced by my own plugins. |
