Basic Command Creation11:03
This lecture goes over how to create a command within Dragon Naturally Speaking.

This lecture goes over how to use the text and graphics command. The most useful commands I have made with this type of command are adding signatures to emails.
Step By Step Command - Sending Keystrokes3:37
This tutorial will teach you how to send individual keystrokes using a simple interface.
Step By Step Command - Opening Application6:18
This tutorial will teach you how to easily open any application using voice recognition.
Macro Recorder7:05
Macro Recorder is a more simple way of creating very useful commands but can be very can create a lot of error if not programmed considering all variables to what could create errors.
Advanced Scripting - Basic Formatting9:05
Formatting can be your worst enemy when creating a command in word processor. This lecture will go over certain options that are available based on the used preference.

Advanced Scripting - Scripting with variables7:04
Introduces the concept of what a variable is and can be used in any programming language.
Advanced Scripting - List Variables8:57
List Variables allows for use to set a predefined amount of variable information to be placed into a command.
Advanced Scripting - Next Variable8:14
Next variable is an instruction already included into Dragon Naturally Speaking that can be very useful when used.
Advanced Scripting - Comments2:30
Comments allow for a user to make notes in the command to themselves and others.
Advanced Scripting - AppBringUp5:09
AppBringUp command allows you to not only call up applications but also specific files.
Advanced Scripting - GoTo5:44
GoTo instruction will allow you to create modular commands. Meaning that you will be able to design pieces of puzzles and goto will be your link between those pieces.
Advanced Scripting - Wait Instruction3:39
The wait instruction is the most simple and more error prone way of creating a pause allowing for a program to catch up to the command. When you use a command to open a program you would use a wait to allow for the time it take for the program to open on your computer before the command continues.
Advanced Scripting - ClipBoard7:14
Clipboard is very simple and extremely useful when creating advanced commands. The most basic and the most advanced programmers will use the clipboard variables in their commands.
Advanced Scripting - Msgbox7:24
MsgBox is primarily used to give information back out to the user of the command. It can be used to input a yes or no but there are better ways of doing this.
Advanced Scripting - InputBox5:51
Easy and quick way to get input from the user of a command which can decide the path of the rest of the command or can simply provide information to the command.
Advanced Scripting - If Then7:06
The very basic on decision based functions. You can use this function a million times to create your program and can create everything. This is the foundation of decision making in a command. More advanced commands simply work more proficiently and look cleaner but are based of this function.
Advanced Scripting - Select Case10:38
A more complicated and organized if then statement. This command will help organize a point in which multiple if then statements would be needed.
Advanced Scripting - Do Until Loop9:17
1 of 3 loop functions that will be brought up in the series. Can be very complicated to use but is essential to understand when creating a complicated command.
Advanced Scripting - While Loop9:57
While loop is 1 of 3 loops that are being introduced in this series. This is mainly for continuing the command until instructed otherwise from within the command itself. Make sure to program a way out of this loop from within the loop otherwise you will get stuck as I did.
