Command line
VoxCommando can be started with a few command line parameters. If VoxCommando is already running then you can send it messages via the command line. This will actually send the message out on a UDP broadcast, so the result is the same as using the program udpsender.exe

The syntax for sending UDP messages is as follows:
VoxCommando.exe -port "message string"
VoxCommando will send the message "to itself" using UDP on the port specified.
Here are some examples of sending messages to VC on the command line:
Perform Actions
- VoxCommando.exe -33000 "TTS.Speak&&Hi there!"
Emulate a voice command using the vc.tellvox action
