			DetectSound.exe,  Version 1.02
```

			Detect sound input on default microphone before detection period expires

```
?
```

			Usage:    DetectSound.exe  [ timeout ]  [ /Q ]

```
?
```

			Where:    timeout     detection period in seconds (0.5..600; default: 10)

			          /Q          Quiet mode: no messages except result

```

```
			          ?
```

			Notes:    This program uses Microsoft's (now deprecated) speech recognition

			          technology to detect sound, so it will be sensitive to speech and

			          yells, but less so to other noises like clapping or whistling.

			          Decimal separator for timeout may be dot or comma, but if

			          comma the value must be doublequoted.

			          Return code 0 if sound is detected within the timeout period,

			          1 if not, or -1 in case of errors
