Do they have to be words? Very old gamers would be familiar with

From specific to general, about the voice activated scripting I
use...

Yes, you could use letters to activate scripts. Numbers are
recognized very well, like "1" "2" "1 1" (pronounced "one one"). I
have used those to activate temporary scripts that do not really
need a memorable name.

Voice activated macroing/scripting is a big leap from keystroke
combination activated scripting. There are not enough keystroke
combinations available, and they are not memorable. Since letters
require voicing a syllable, I would use a single syllable utterance
that describes the action to be performed instead of using letters.

Many of my single syllable activators include an optional and
variable number suffix. For text editing, that means the word "left"
can be followed by a number that will tell the computer how many
spaces to move left. If I say "left", the cursor moves left one
position. If I say "left six", the cursor moves left six positions.

For this speech activated scripting stuff, I am using an add-on
program to Dragon NaturallySpeaking called "Dragonfly". Currently,
it is a free open-source Python program written by Christo Butcher.

Dragonfly is one of the first speech activated macroing/scripting
programs that enables Continuous Command Recognition. Just like the
advent of continuous speech recognition for dictation, continuous
command recognition for scripting allows voicing commands in
sequence without pausing between words. It changes speech activated
scripting in a big way. You develop a list of command words, and
then combine the words on-the-fly any way you want to make phrases,
just like speaking to a person. Before, having to pause between each
command made voicing commands in sequence too cumbersome to be
useful. Instead, to be fluid, I defined every single stinking phrase
that I might want to use. Not anymore.

Speech activated scripting is much easier than general speech
recognition for dictation because the vocabulary is relatively tiny.
In other words, a stupid computer's vocabulary is much smaller, the
computer chooses from a relatively tiny list of words, and that
results in very few errors. With a clear voice (that the stupid
computer and its programmers require), you can dictate and command
at the same time.

As is, Dragonfly does only the basics of macroing/scripting, but CCR
makes it very powerful anyway. I am looking forward to CCR in a fully
functional macro recorder, but CCR is loads of fun anyway.
