The part on the free version of VoiceAttack starts at 11:05
This describes the first version of the VoiceAttack profile called Hellbabbles. It is my particular flavor of voice command and it is a fun way to play the game. Try it out!
The current version of the profile 2024-03-13-Hellbabbles-1.05 should be pretty functional and have all the most important features. Thanks to people commenting with ideas and fixes! It really got us there.

An entertaining way to use macros that's a sidegrade to the default stratagem mechanic instead of just turning a chain of button presses into a keybind, very nice.
100% This is exactly what it is about for me! Probably the most succinct and well worded take I have ever heard on voice commands for the average player in games.
The macro is pretty slow too so it's not even cheesing it by making it instant. Cool way to do it.
Eyyyyy 500kg in the houseeee
@@DCTriv Was thinking this as well, but to be fair even at the faster speed the time it takes to just say the command make it's pretty uncheesy.

Being able to call in Supplies with "Bing chilling" and my 500kg bombs with "Spread freedom" has been a blast. Thank you so much for your tutorial!
Hahaaa! It's like rubbing their tinny faces in it >_
i love you for this idea
I'm struggling with it not working, I've told it I'm using the up down keys but when I give it a command while holding CTRL myself it says its accepted and done it but it doesn't work in game 😢
@@mjellings the only modifications you have to make is stratagems have to be called in with the arrow keys and you must change control from hold to push. the way it's set up the voice command won't hold the control button so it's up to you to change it in The mouse and the keyboard bindings. it's even pretty nice when you're not using voice commands that way I can run around still without having to hold control with my pinky.
@@mjellingsThe profile is made to press the ctrl key by itself. If you are pressing it as well, the keystrokes will get messed up.

As an IT guy I have to say this is a true grade S+ guide. No Blabla, straight to the point, a light/full version, all links and docs inlcuded. Thx a lot man!
That means a lot to a mechanical engineering guy, thanks for the kind words!
I can definitely agree, I've been doing IT work for past 16 years, and never have I seen such a thorough project and explanation! Great job! I just started using this and I LOVE IT!
Nice
I was hoping for "SEND DUDES!" to be the reinforce command. You've got to add that to the list! Great project, love this, thank you for sharing.
Or reference RvB "We're pretty messed up down here, We need men!"
"SEND DUDES" "....You mean nudes?"
I actually have "send dudes" - had it long before seeing this video. "Rescue noobs" does the same thing. "Calling team killer" for the 380mm...
Voice chat: Load 380mm barrage other player: OH GOD someone calling the 380.....
no if you use push to talk for gaming discord or in game , and use mic on for voice attack then in game freinds dont hear your callins
@@apiscator444 but i want my friends to hear me callin lol
I fkn love the 380. It's great for when you just need to say "yeah, fk everything over there in general" So, like, most automoton missions.
@@onerimeuse It's absolutely amazing now against heavy outpost, lop one inside it and most of thing there will just crumble to dust.
Watching my low level team mates running directly towards the 380 I just threw…

My dyslexic friend should find this very helpful, me to I'm pretty bad at calling in stats quickly
Same... mild dyslexia regarding those fing arrows.
"Requesting orbital precision strike," the helldiver said calmly.
You have just changed the way i play this game. You are a damn rockstar. Hats off to you, sir.
Super happy that you found your way to the pc voice stuff! Make sure to test some other games with voice as well. o7
I'm 100% trying this. Thank the algorithm gods for this offering, and thank you.
Tested in-game just now...your profile is AMAZING. It takes some getting used to as far as what to say ofc, and you gotta remain calm so as to say things clearly, but it's money. I've been using Voice Attack for Star Citizen for years so perhaps it's a bit easier for me, but I think between this video and your profile and documentation, you may have set the standard for Helldivers macro assistance. It's also very fun to use. It feels like you're talking to Command. Now I just gotta make some commands like "KILL THEM ALL!" where it spams an orbital, eagle, and sentry all in a row then deletes the game from my PC immediately after I inevitably die during reloading. Thanks, Woofer!
Love it! Spread the Liberty!
The "KILL THEM ALL" is exactly what I was thinking
OMG, I forgot I bought this 10 years ago! Thanks for the video and the memory jog!!!
It's like finding a ten dollar bill in an old jacket!
Yeah I bought the paid version in 2017-18 to shout Skyrim thuum, haven’t used it since but I remember having a lot of fun with it in Skyrim
Oh this is THAT program. I remember it now. Was wondering why the name sounded familiar, lol.@@dubcOG610
Been using your voice comand for 1 week now and it is amazing !
This is one of the most unique videos i have seen all year. I think its great that you even thought about doing this and sharing it with the public. Thanks & great job.
Thanks a lot!
This is absolutely brilliant. The amount of work you have done on this is amazing. I've been using it for a couple of days and it feels really natural, especially after making a few edits to suit my own preference. They way you have it setup made customizing it a little more very easy. Wonderful work. Thank you for this.
loaded up commands, and after a brief learning curve, this is working great!
My one complaint as a casual player is the command sequence you have to remember. I’d love to try this out tonight. Thank you for sharing!
You don’t remember, it tells you 😂
I often always forget the word mortar and have to remind myself by looking at the stratagems.
@@H0rnyD0g By remember I mean having to read a command in the corner while fighting 25 bugs is terrible, so it's obvious that they want you to eventually remember the command you want in order to be proficient at it. That's not gonna happen soon if I don't play this often.
@@lanzer22 ok, then dont
@@lanzer22a toddler can memorize those commands
Mate! ive been using this for a few days and wanted to come back to say Thank You Kindly! this has been a game changer for me, i wasted my youth doing manual labor and my hands are prone to seizing and this takes so much pressure off my hands! fkn legend!
Awesome work, man! I use VoiceAttack for a lot of things, one of my big projects being a personalized NPC Pilot command list for Mechwarrior 5, designed around my tendency to micro my AI pilots extensively. I'll definitely give this a try. Voice commands in games like Mechwarrior / Helldivers is always a hugely fun addition.
Voice really opens up the possibilities of playing with team AI. In Arma it makes so much of a difference even without any mods.
I started using Voice Attack for Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen. Now I use it often. Not only does it make somethings more effective, especially for VR titles. But in other games it can add fun or depth as well.
bro your a genius! automatons wont have any chance from this moment!
When you said "hey google" as an example i was wondering why the video stopped playing 😂
;)
hey i just wonted to say thank you for showing and shairing this i had to go get the softwhere just to try this and its brought alot of fun back to the game after the patches lately and with you updateing it im blown away i was trying to work out how to add things like the mec then noticed you did that it just wasnt understanding me XD so i cant say exo suit aparintly regadless fantastic work and thank you so so much [ man this profile / softwhere is complicated af crazy work you did]
Glad you got a good experience. But yeah, sometimes the phrases are hard. Just change the existing ones to something that is easier to say. Like ketchup or something >_
@@woofer_808 yea i was messing with it a bit more today and tweeking some small things like the incin mine being on fire mission not request like the other minefild i will slowly be less dumb then it takes to work with this software :D
Make sure to use the "train windows voice recognition" tool in windows. Do a test listen to your own voice with voice recorder to hear if you are not clipping your sound by having the mic to close, too sensitive etc. Also use headphones, so your voice won't have to compete with game noise. Another thing that can be helpful is something like NVIDIA Broadcast for noise and room echo removal on the microphone input. Your fellow helldivers will also be thankful for a cleaner voice feed.
Incredible. Thanks so much for freely sharing your work.
Thank you, this has changed my gameplay, I have nerve damage in my hands and i can almost never get it right in the heat of battle. I bought VA way back when I was playing Elite Dangerious, I didn't even think of something like this
I'm super happy that it helps you. It's cool that they ship windows speech as just a part of the basic system.
I'm an older visually impaired gamer. I struggle seeing and reading the stratagem arrow codes. This looks like a great accessibility feature and a lot of fun as well. Thank you for the work you did on this. It is really appreciated.
Man that warms my heart! Yell at me if you need to get it going.
@@woofer_808 You rock!
@@woofer_808 What are your thoughts on this potentially triggering the Anti-cheat software?
@@MyLazyEye23 so far no reports of it off the back of this video or the voiceattack forums. No confirmed word on macros from neither Arrowhead nor nprotect. It was a thing in Helldivers 1 without issue. I recon it is politically hard for Arrowhead to block it at this point. But then again it doesn't provide much (if any) advantage in a co-op title. You also have a third party company like HCS voicepacks invested in it. I imagine they may have some insight. That's the best I can say at the moment.
@@woofer_808 It's strange in deed. I don't think it's mechanical. I set it to P and then it just reverse to ctrl p. /shrug It's not ideal but I can live with it. Thanks for trying to help.
Thank you very much for taking the time to do this.
No problem. I built it to actually play with it myself, so glad that it is out there getting folks a good experience. glhf!
Yes Much Obliged
holly smokes you keep his thing up to date !!!!!!!!!!! I love this so much, thank you.
I’m 100% making the call-in for the 500kg “I’m not gonna sugarcoat it.”
Thank you for this video! I would not have thought about attempting this. I can’t wait to try this. I’m going to change the call-in to what they are in game like, “eagle” and “orbital”, or how I would tell my squad. Probably something like “Requesting” and “Calling”, so I can alert in game chat as well as kick off the macro. Heck I guess from the way you described it all I could do both and get it covered every which way! I already have my strategem keys on the arrows and changed the CTRL key to press to open instead of hold so I can keep running while calling in by hand but the voice thing would be awesome.
I get so happy reading this creative energy going into voice stuff. You seem to have it well figured out already.
thx again for updating voice attack commands
Hi there, Man this just look amazing, especially for this game. I need to try this. thanks a LOT!!😳
this is freaking great! going to try tonight! thank you for your service helldiver!
Thats some fine work! Thank you for sharing this.
Perfect timing as VoiceAttack is actually on sale for $8.99 USD right now as part of the Steam Spring Sale that last until March 21!
I love this, THANK YOU! Will try it out tonight.
Thank you, W00fer! Very helpful. For myself I started to setup a script for HD2. But before starting with it, I thought, let me check YT, and here I am ;-) You took a lot of work away for me. I thank you for that, m8! I'll go test and check out your profiles. But damn I need to do a lot to remember your commands hehe Keep us up to date! Thx, m8
For me entering the commands is part of the chaos/fun, but it’s cool there’s an option to shout it now lol
My thoughts too, I just got muscle memory down for a couple and found that really fun. I want to keep doing that, but give this a try! Or perhaps have it be a very late-game thing I enable.
I won't be using this, but appreciate that those who physically need it have access to it. @@progenitor_amborella
This is genius! I love how immersive it is too, as if you're talking on the radio to your Super Destroyer.
If you like that, you could look up hcs voicepacks. That is the same sort of stuff but with professional voice actors.
@@woofer_808 hehe already done!
Wish this would work. VoiceAttack is listening but doesn't do anything I tell it to. Very frustrating.
@@thatchanguy aw damn. is windows speech running properly?
Yup @@woofer_808
After playing with it, you convinced me, bought the full VoiceAttack and works great, awesome job, this is just way better than running in circles and getting brainfarts haha
Yeah I've been doing this for quite a while too made up my own profile that I've been adding to since shortly before launch and it's been great. As a bit of a joke from a friend we had all the commands end in "jutsu/no jutsu" so it is quite fun to yell out "Eagle Napalm Airstrike no Jutsu!" and then watch your character spam out a string of commands. :D It also helps in command recognition since everything ends in jutsu so it can tell Autocannon jutsu from Autocannon sentry jutsu.
Hehe. Next step is to add camera recognition of hand gestures so you have to do hand seals while shouting.
Thank you ❤ as someone who is a disabled gamer, this helps me to enjoy the game even more ❤
I am super happy to hear that! Hope you are able to transition it to new things as well.
@@woofer_808 I’m not very good with this kinda thing but I will do my best :)
Woofer….we’ve never met….but I love you. Thank you SO much for this heads up….a literal game changer.
I have set up my own version of this. The main difference is that my button to open the stratagems list is the discord mute button, so I press that, and can read from the side list and the command only executes the code. I dont need to say the precursor phrase. It has been super useful.
thx a lot for the update Woofer.. i love the program right now awesome. thx for the great information on it
...and just bought it for hell divers... Thanks Mate! :)
Wish you have a good time expending plenty of liberty!
Great for people who are disabled or suffer from certain ailments.. However for everyone else, I feel like having to type in sequences while under massive pressure, is part of the whole charm and what makes it fun.
Wow you are a GOD with voiceAttack Thank you :)
I added Calling in so it sounds more natural on voice chat, this way my team also knows I'm about to blow something up. But I love the guide, convinced me to buy the program. I'll likely make profiles for other games now too. But I love the feel of ordering my ship to *ship name* bring liberty tosses 500 towards the enemy. I do think I need a make this area glass command that tosses every orbital/eagle.
That kind of creative personalization was exactly what i was hoping for. Love it!
When using the free version, I've found it handy to create a Ctrl toggle at the start and end of the macro to open and shut the requisition menu automatically. This saves on having the F_CommandStart and F_CommandEnd bits
This is good advice. And it turned out I had totally broken the free version back when I updated it to remove those two function commands. The newer works better and contains the reset function.
These are the tutorials that make youtube great
Trying to imagine a whole squad with this set up and on Discord in a mess of a fight lmao. Gotta be a good time

Love it mate good job
this is so cool I might have to try this
@Woofer It took me a while but I finally figured it out. In your profile, you are setting the push to listen function to override the globally set hotkey. This makes it so if anyone follows the instructions for setting the push to listen function in this video will be frustrated that it doesn't work for them. They will either need to go to the profile options and uncheck the "override recognition global hotkey" option and set the key the way you showed, or set the key in the profile options. I don't know where you want to correct this, but it will be important for almost everyone I think. At least correct the instructions for setting the hot key in the profile documentation. Not that anyone reads the f-ing manual.
Holy crap, you are absolutely right. I don't know why I have it set in the profile instead of the actual application. I'll change that cause it makes more sense to me that new users do it in the app.
turns out I had it set in both places >_
I've been using voiceattack for about 10 years now in flight and space Sim's. The thought to use it in Helldivers occurred to me but I decided against using it. Having to key in the stratigim commands under pressure manually is a big part of the fun and challenge for me. But I'm sure there are others out there who will welcome the option.
I don't think I could play flight and space sims without it anymore. Not even for using voice, but for the integration. For Helldivers I decided I can do both though. Some days VoiceAttack isn't on at all.
Cool. I can see its usefulness but i like the actual system. It's part of the fun
I've had Voice Attack for some time, never used it. NOW I want to.
Thank you for this! 🤜💥🤛
This should come in handy when calling in a hellbomb
Something about the hellbomb sequence just works for me. Like I look at it, it's long and complicated, but then my fingers just fly over the arrow keys without any thought. It Just Works.
Thanx Woofer. This is great. Used VA for years in my sims, DCS etc. Found I'm too slow with the strats in HD2. so this works a treat. Quick question.. can't see how to reenable any of the 'DISABLED' commands. Would love to reenable "Open Map". I didn't see it in yer manual file.
Hey! The disabled rows in the "open map" command are there so that the profile doesn't press the stratagem key before pressing tab. Does that not work for you? Otherwise you just enable disabled rows by marking them, right clicking them and select "enable actions".
@@woofer_808 Doesn't seem to work for me. I did change the map key to b but I changed the key to b in VA too. Will test some more, but even before I changed the key to b I couldn't open the map by speaking "Open Map". It also didn't register in VA. EDIT: FIXED-ALL GOOD-DISREGARD. not sure exactly, but a restart of VA and a "Voice Attack Modified" seemed to resolve it lol. opening the map was the only cmd I had an issue with. so weird. thanx again.
I honestly think this is cooler than what we have in the game... But oh well
I wish there were more games like that Vietnam Radio commander game, or just more games with voice mechanics. Speech engines are pretty cool when they work well.
@@woofer_808there was a game i played 20 years ago, Enigma: Rising Tide, that could be played solely through voice commands. That scene of torpedo dodging in the film Greyhound? Yeah, was doing that all, "left full rudder, hard over!"
Fantastic Video, I'm disabled and have been using VA for many years...works for all major titles eg. (Cyberpunk 2077, Fallout 76, Starfield, WoW, SWTOR online, Farcry STO, etc). Its very convient to use multiple command by itself or in sequence macroed by voice command....awesome program.
I love how programmable it is by itself. I wish I had time to sit down and learn how to make plugins though. That would be supremely useful.
Up Down Right Left Up
When you just hear on voice com "Nice Argument but..:" you know what he be getting
This must be a godsend for disabled folks out there. Good work dude!
man i havent thought of VA since i quite elite. thank gosh for you sir. and god bless the algorithm.... and Democracy
This should be an official update. Great for accessibility for a lot of people.
that's v cool ! the double input issue . . i run a gaming keypad with arrows set for movement on the thumbstick and wasd on the keys still, so i'd have to set the stratagem inputs to something random
i guess the utility depends on the speed a player can reasonably input a strategem, i know i could do it at twice the speed this macro does, but it does seem like an awesome tool for people who aren't quite capable of doing so.
Yeah. The speed is by design. I play about half my missions with voice. The manual commands come in at 7 or higher difficulty basically because it is just so much faster overall.
This is awesome
Gaming on an ultrawide monitor and using voice commands to cheat in stratagems. This is a truly cursed video.
Instead of “order request supplies” you could do a setting “generic stratagem reply” which would effect the voice from the long one to “loading drop pod” or “paging ship cannons” (orbital strike) or “calling eagle”
Maybe a set of generic ones that it can randomize between?
Amazing
Did this after the first week of playing, lol. Just added the Mech. I just had VA listen when I hold down CTRL and hold CTRL in Helldivers 2. I had it throw by itself at first also, but it messed up sometimes, like throwing a orbital on friendlies.
Using ctrl as PTT is pretty slick
Freaking Awesome !!! Thank U
Pretty cool vid! Hopefully the game's anti-cheat isn't overly paranoid about this because this seems pretty fun to use
Can that annoying feedback beep also be changed to something better? Like maybe to the sound a radio makes when being engaged?
Yes. I picked one of the built-in sounds. They aren't really top notch. But you can put anything you want there from external audio files. There are just two places in the profile where you have to make the change.
I put some info on how to get it done in the manual. thanks for the suggestion
CALL 500KG *taco bell gong *
Got a nice custom Idea. Take all Orbitals / Eagle Strikes. Set them in desired order. Create new command line to execute all 4 strategems automatically throwing them in the direction you're aiming after each one, using the command: FIre Mission -- Send My enemies to Hell. Choose 4 increasing big booms for dramatic effect. :D
Gonna be hell over discord when your talkative teammate is all "hey guys will you kick me if i use my 380 ORBITAL STRIKE HERE!?"
thanks for this!! So for me calling the orbital laser seems to be my only issue (so far) when I say orbital alone its fine but request orbital laser changes to request or buy all laser no matter how I change my speech. to the hive mind any suggestions to get it working?
The orbital laser is a fire mission stratagem. So you'll need to say "fire mission orbital laser" or "call orbital laser".
Amazing Stuff! I was tempted to get the HCS voice packs, but I'm not so sure. It's crazy on what you have created. Can I change the keyword (I have the full version) from the catagories you set up? is that possible (simply)? I'm simple, I say Weapons or startagens, depending on how accurate my software is.
Oh yeah. It's made to be customized. When updates to the profile comes out, you can then update only the background framework and get any new commands. So if you only change the phrasing then it's no problem. I'll have to remake it a bit so that the prefix system can be removed if anyone so desire. Will be looking at that soon(tm)
Prairie fire, nice touch heh
This is really cool, but I really like the feeling of pressing buttons to do stuff.
One of my favourite things in this game is that the character does the sort of same movements as i punch my keyboard keys to input something into terminals
Good I found this, can use voice attack again (and train my english too)
I swear, this has the same energy as anime magic casting system where you shout out the skill being used. I don't own the game, and I'm still impressed and itching to join and go full anime for super earth XD
This is awesome, i would probably use code names that I don't say normally like "Reaper One requesting napalm" for the jets and "Gauntlet requesting orbital strike" since I named my ss gauntet of justice
Matching the names of the super destroyer is a fun way to do it, yeah!
Did you just rebind the WASD controls for strategems to be able to walk even when having the strategems open? That would be cool on top of the voice commadns.
Yes, it's a very common thing. Controller players get that ability by default
This is amazing! Let's saw we have changed some keybinds to the stratagems set as left alt instead of control? How do we go about changing that?
Thanks! You go into F_commandStart and F_commandEnd. In those, change the ctrl keypress to alt. That updates the whole profile.
@@woofer_808 Thanks for getting back to me so quick!!! I’ll have to get it working tomorrow. Thanks again!!
thnx for sharing Ive had VA for ages but this is great thnx for sharing, and spreading Democracy.
