Finally a book that teaches how to create commands. This is undoubtedly the best book in the market. Quick to read, well written, and completely transformed how I use word processing applications. I’ve been using Dragon for five years and highly recommend this read!

Dragon has quickly become a key productivity tool for me this year and it was time to take this "a step further" with this book.
I loved the logical structure of the chapters and the clear explanations of the step by step examples. The command reverence guide is invaluable when creating your own custom commands.
The Kindle version is limited by the formatting restrictions of the eReader and I found it worked much better with the Kindle app on my larger (colour) tablet screen. More annoying was the fact that exported notes lost all the line breaks in the code and either a linked website or an export option to retain formatting would have been useful. There is a PDF version of the book on the dragonspeechtips website which may not have these limitations.
