Hi,
As a E player myself, I had a look at the hype Voice Attack had recently. I tested it and it was awesome, especially with E and a DK2 on my head. As I like to dev in my free time, I developped a free open-source clone of Voice Attack because I just wanted to have some fun. It turned out well, and I wanted to share it.
Here is the Github folder for anyone interested : https://github.com/Al-th/Vocals
Here is a link to the binary for people that don't want to bother compiling their own : https://github.com/Al-th/Vocals/blob/master/Vocals/bin/Release/Vocals.exe?raw=true
The setup is pretty much simple.
1. Follow the Windows Recognition Engine setup instructions here : http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/set-speech-recognition#1TC=windows-7
2. Open Vocals
3. Create a Profile
4. Add new commands. A command is composed of a command text (for example 'Activate engines', and a series of actions (for example : Key press 'Z', wait 0.3 seconds, Key press 'A').
Once you have set up all the commands you want to, switch the software you want to send those commands to in the main window (for elite, it's 'Elite Dangerous : Client')
You are good to go, and you can activate your commands !
Edit : Added a youtube video to present Vocals. Sorry for the accent guys !

VoiceAttack will take commands that you speak into your microphone

and turn them into a series of keyboard key presses and mouse actions

VoiceAttack is designed to make games and applications more fun to use by adding your voice as an extra controller

(by that, we mean pwn your buddies without taking your hands off your keyboard and mouse).

New - VoiceAttack will now allow you to assign all of the macros you create to keyboard keys. This means you can augment

or even replace that expensive macro-enabled keyboard you have been using.
