Changing target amount and fuel unit will change the corresponding values in DRE.ini. You may also change the values directly from DRE.ini instead if you have difficulties hitting your amount via voice. Units can be either our default liter/gallons defined by iRacing, with an additional option to define kilos / pounds). You may include up to 1 decimal for the amount, so eg. “1.4”. |
| Set target fuel to last lap Set fuel target like last lap fuel usage | Define the target fuel from the fuel usage of the previous lap with this command, which can be activated to be reported to you after each lap with the command, Activate target fuel. Changing target fuel here will also change the corresponding values in DRE.ini. You may also change the values directly. Units can here only be either in liters or gallons. |

| Activate fuel target Start fuel burn target Begin target fuel Active target gas burn | Starts reporting how far away from your target fuel per lap you are, each time you begin a new lap. You must confirm to start this command, by saying yes or cancel it by saying no |
| Stop target fuel Disable fuel target End fuel burn target Abort target gas Cancel fuel target | Stops reporting on your target fuel comparisons |

| Good day The DRE Hi DRE Hello The DRE | Acknowledges you and gives a feedback that The DRE is running |
| Make a note about * Remind me to * Remind me about * Set a reminder about * Remember to * Remember me to * | Start a dictation mode which will save what you say. Everything you say at the asterix will be noted, eg. “Remind me about rear wing adjustment”. This will automatically be said back to you when you are back in garage and out of the car. This is useful for when you are reminded of something while driving but can’t note it down (or are forgetting stuff easy). Once you are out of the car, this will be said back. Unfortunately at this moment this feature is not that great at understanding what you say precise, so I suggest to only say special easily-understood words, which you know what means when hearing them again. Eg. pronounce the vital part twice: “Remind me to rear wing rear wing”. |
| Store notes | Reads back when returning to garage, what is currently in the ‘notes’, which you have dictated |
| What’s in my notes Read my notes Read out my notes Read the notes loud | Reads back when back what is currently in the ‘notes’, which you have dictated |
| Clear notes | Clears the content of the notes |
| What’s the time/clock What time is it How late is it | Tells you the current time. Change the say-function from {TIME} to {time} if you want the time in 12 hour format instead of 24 hour. |
| Thanks/Thank you/Awesome/Nice, The DRE/DRE | Acknowledges you and gives a feedback that The DRE is running |
| Extra DRE Logic | Do not call this. The purpose of this command is to secure that alert boolean, “ttsspeaking” never stays false for longer than 30 seconds. |
| Suspend listening | Use this command if you speak on Teamspeak, Discord or iRacing voice chat, and don't want DRE to listen while you are talking to someone else. Assign a keybind to these commands (needs to be the same for this and “Resume listening”), and use the keybind which you press to speak in either of the VOIP apps. (default Ctrl+Shift+D) |
| Resume listening | See “Suspend listening” description above |
| Say again please Repeat please Repeat again | Says the last spoken TTS string again |
