Voice to engineer

Just something I was thinking about yesterday. It could be nice to do some things which you normally do in the pit menu, through some basic voice commands :)
For example if you want to switch to wet tires, after you have requested a pit stop, some audio cue such as 'engineer wet tires' changes the compound to wets
, 'engineer refuel 12', can give you additional fuel for 12 laps.

This takes away the need to mess with menu's while driving, something you would never do in a real car anyway.

Is this at all possible, or even through a plugin?

This is already very close! In essence, all you'd need are some macro's which do the settings for you and you can 'call out' to a macro to apply the correct settings.
Interesting :)

This is something that will become extremely useful when using a VR Headset, no need to faff about remembering where buttons are when you simply just say a command. It's already heavily used in Elite Dangerous and by people who don't necessarily wear a headset!
Very interesting indeed :)

Use VoiceAttack.
 
Will check it out, thanks.

Is there the ability to create macros or presets for situations where you can apply multiple settings? It might be my question/wishlist topic is focussing on the wrong thing :)

edit:

VoiceAttack looks nice indeed! GlovePie equally so :)
I think I certainly asked the wrong questions here. I'll rephrase, is it possible to write small macro's allowing you to change multiple settings with the press of one button or switch?

this seems like a recurring request
