<p><b>New page</b></p><div>== VoxCommando Features ==<br />
<br />
VoxCommando is extremely '''customizable'''<br />
* You decide which programs to control.<br />
* You decide which commands you want to use. Getting rid of commands you don't need increases the computer's ability to detect speech accurately.<br />
* You decide exactly how to trigger your commands and what parameters to use. You can choose any phrase to trigger a command, and you can assign multiple phrases to the same command easily.<br />
* You can also create complex phrasing strategies for more natural speaking.<br />
** you can include optional phrase segments (i.e. a command can optionally begin with the word 'please').<br />
** you can create "aliases" for objects used in commands. For example: "Livingroom light" could mean the same as "Overhead Light"<br />
<br />
<br />
VoxCommando is '''flexible''' and '''powerful'''<br />
<br />
VoxCommando allows you to do the following (and much more):<br />
* Direct control of MediaMonkey music manager<br />
* Send complex events to EventGhost, allowing for control over anything that EventGhost can control -- and that is '''a lot'''<br />
* Direct control of XBMC [http://xbmc.org/about/ Xbox Media Center]<br />
* Direct control of iTunes (Windows only)<br />
* Direct control of Windows Media Center (requires installation of a free plugin)<br />
* Communicate with the Vera [[Home Automation|home automation]] controller from MiCasaVerde<br />
* Interface with other programs and devices using TCP, http, and UDP protocols (for example, communicate with Global Cache iTach or network audio receivers)<br />
* Create custom scripts in [[Python]]<br />
* Create your own plugins in C#<br />
<br />
<br />
VoxCommando has an '''extensive list of built-in [[Actions]]''' that can be used when building macros, such as:<br />
* Text-to-Speech (TTS)<br />
* Control your mouse<br />
* Open programs<br />
* Keyboard emulation<br />
* Manipulate windows (focus, close, minimize, etc.)<br />
* Scrape websites<br />
* Control system volume<br />
* Wake-on-LAN (WOL)<br />
<br />
<br />
Even more options and actions are available in the '''growing list of [[Plugins]]''', including:<br />
* Interface with Google Calendar<br />
* Get information from Weather Underground<br />
* Interface with the Our Groceries app<br />
* Send events to Growl<br />
