This revolutionary piece of software will allow you access to almost every area of the virtual flightdeck using your computer’s microphone. A virtual copilot that listens to your natural speech, and carries out the action that you specify.

Featuring:

• Easy to use software interface
• Command customization
• Copilot read back customization
• Multiple phrases for any command
• Multiple randomly selected read backs for any command
• Interface testing of new commands or read backs
• Script printing
• Hundreds of voice commands for FSX
• Selectable microphone switch for use in FSX
• Modify or create voice checklists for any aircraft
• Pre-built voice checklists for all default FSX aircraft
• Ability to share checklists for any aircraft
• Speaker independent speech recognition technology
• Natural speech phraseology for commands
• Commands actually operate the system, not just press a virtual key for you

The guys at Flight 1 approached Sky Blue Radio with the idea of, “What would be the first thing you would say to your virtual co-pilot?”
