American Truck Simulator and Voice Attack
Has anyone tried using VA (a speech recognition/macro utility for games) with ATS or ETS?

I've used it with flight and space sims, to do things like raise/lower flaps or landing gear, find waypoints, deploy weaponry or mining lasers, all incidental things that you often have to pause the game to look at the keybinds and find what key(s) to use... It seems that ATS/ETS would also benefit from this kind of utility.

The other good part about Voice Attack is that it can play sounds... which means you can have a voiceover-artist 'copilot' or AI helping you, or just to pass the time. HCS Voicepacks (a company in Britain) has been compiling voicepacks for Star Citizen, MS Flight Simulator, Elite:Dangerous, and the like, and has had many celebrities contribute their voices to the effort, names like Brent Spiner, Brian Blessed, and the late Paul Darrow. If usage of Voice Attack with driving sims like ATS ticks up, they might start doing packs for truckers... I'd totally be down for Kris Kristofferson's voice as a "dispatcher" on the radio.
