All Commands are Preceded by the word
"Computer" (Just like on Star Trek...)
(For example: "Computer, Next Song")
If more than one word will work, it will be indicated like "Song/Music".
In most cases, adding the natural articles of speech like "a", "an" and "the" will not affect the command. I have tried very hard to allow the commands to be as natural as possible, and there may be many variations of these commands that will also work (For example, "Find Next"="Find the next song" or "Mute"="Shut up"). I am only listing the most obvious variations here.
One final note: ATI's Multimedia Center seems to try to grab control of the microphone away from MouseSpeak, so you may not be able to give commands while Multimedia Center is running.
