VoxCommando Features

VoxCommando is extremely customizable

• You decide which programs to control.
• 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.
• 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.
• You can also create complex phrasing strategies for more natural speaking.
  • you can include optional phrase segments (i.e. a command can optionally begin with the word 'please').
  • you can create "aliases" for objects used in commands. For example: "Livingroom light" could mean the same as "Overhead Light"
