[Note: this and the following dozen sets of commands combine various commands, simply meaning you can rattle them off in a string without pausing. This saves a lot of time, especially with a slow machine. This command allows you to say "Press" and up to five numbers in a row: you can also mix "Dot," "Comma," "Hyphen," "Tab," "Period," and "Backspace" in with the numbers.]

Press/Hyphen/Space/Backspace/Left/Right a-z/Alpha-Zulu/Dot/Hyphen/Space/Tab/,/./"/'/;/?/!/-/+    Alpha-Zulu/a-z ... [This is similar to the above command, but works with letters instead of numbers and leaves out the comma. You can say up to three letters/punctuation marks in a row.]

Written/Cap    1-10/Comma/Colon/Period/Semicolon/Apostrophe    ["Written" returns the written number or punctuation of your choice. "Cap" does the same and capitalizes it.]
Long/Short/Long Cap/Short Cap    To(o)/Ctrl/PgUp/PgDn   [This is a sure way to get the correct version of these words that have several different versions. For instance, "Long Too" will type "too," and "Short Cap To" will type "To." Note that NatSpeak uses context to get the right version of the word, and will do better at this if you a) speak in phrases to give it the context and b) use the correction box.]

com (Web)/net/gov/edu    Code    [This types www.. plus the variable of your choice and leaves you in the middle of the periods. For instance "com Code" would returns www..com]
