Advanced commands
You could add the command Next segment which emulates the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+down to … go to the next segment when you dictate 'Next segment'.
You could also add some commands like 'Insert tag', 'Wrap with tags' etc.
When you say "Click Project menu", this menu is opened. Then say "Click Statistic menu" to open this submenu etc. This list is constantly updated, depending on where you are.
