  1. Name your command. The Command Name is an important step because this is the speech command that will activate the command details (inserted text, key presses, mouse clicks, wait time, or scripts). Do not choose a name that is complicated to pronounce or too long to be recognized easily. Keep your names simple and relative to the command actions or results. In addition, try to follow these best practices:

    • Capitalize the first letter of each word in the command name.

    • Spell out numbers rather than using the numerals (i.e. "Four Two Five" instead of "425").

    • Use an "action verb" at the beginning of each command name (i.e. "Insert", "Print", etc.).

    • Make sure the command is more than one word. (i.e. “Insert Physical Exam”)

  2. Select the Group. From the Command Group dropdown, choose the group that you want the command to appear in. The Group will default to your custom commands group or to the selected group.

  3. Add Actions. Using the buttons, add text, keystroke, wait time, mouse clicks, or a script to the command. See Actions below for more information.
