Command-line parameters
| Parameter | Effect |
|---|---|
-r | Start recording |
-t [time] | Recording duration in seconds |
-o [filename] | Name of the target file |
-m | Minimize the app at startup |
--minimode [0|1] | Minimize mode: 0 is normal, 1 minimizes to the system tray |
Example:
nar.exe -r -t 3600 -o "e:\schedule.mp3" -m --minimode 1
This command starts NowSmart Audio Recorder, records to e:\schedule.mp3 for 3600 seconds (one hour), and minimizes the app to the system tray.
The parameters -t and -o are optional. If Auto Name is enabled, -r alone starts recording as soon as NowSmart Audio Recorder opens.
