A.E.R. or Audio Expository Response Interface, is a voice controlled interface made to simplify playing Elite: Dangerous without leaving the game (like when you play on a Rift).

A.E.R. is licensed under LGPL 3.0

After being addressed ('Hey Aer'), Aer will continue to listen to commands for 30 seconds. This timer resets after every command. Below is a list of commands supported in 1.3

Begins an interaction with A.E.R.

Forcefully ends an interaction with A.E.R.

Re-enables command processing

Disables Command Processing

Interrupts all speech immediately.

Says the current A.E.R. version

You can ask for very basic instructions by saying 'I need instructions'

Sets your commander name. For Example:

'Set Commander Name Tango Echo India space Leema India November' sets the commander name to Tei Lin.

This is currently only used in greetings.

Gives you basic information from EDDB on the system. If AER misunderstands you or doesn't have the system in her database she will tell you.

Gives you detailed information from EDDB on a station.

Allows AER to perform commands based on the current system. There is no way outside of the game to directly track where you are, so you have to give AER updates if you want to use some of the commands.

Gives you the distance (in light years) of the system from your current system

Gives you the distance (in light years) between the two systems.

Finds the closest known station selling the commodity.

Finds the closest known station with a black market

Finds the closest known system with the requested allegiance. Double check against the galaxy map as some of the allegiance information is outdated especially near the borders!!

Returns the details asked for. You can substitute 'current' or 'local' system for

Tells you the known distance from star for the requested station

Another way to access station distances from stars

Types the system name at the cursor

Types the spelled word at the cursor. Uses the current NATO alphabet.

Types the last word that A.E.R. Spelled at the cursor.

Types the current system at the curosr.

Uses Microsoft dictation grammar to allow you to dictate a sentence.

You can greet AER by saying 'Hello' 'Good [Evening|Afternoon|Morning]'

Cycles over the Galnet RSS and allows you to read articles. Saying 'Browse Galnet' starts the cycle over at the beginning.

Connects to a joke RSS and pulls out a joke of the day. (This is currently a bit stale as the RSS doesn't update nearly as much as it should)

Says the current real-life time.

Allows you to do simple calculations. [numbers] must be entered digit by digit. For example:

245.30 * 80, should be entered as "calculate two four five point three zero times eight zero"

A.E.R. uses your system's TTS voice. A lot of streamers (and A.S.T.R.A.) use the IVONA Amy voice. I prefer the IVONA Ivy voice. Microsoft has a few low-quality voices available for download (such as Hazel and ZiraPro), but you have to fiddle to get them working.
