I apologize for not having the time at present to dedicate to properly learning KB commands.  If someone could help kick start me in the right direction I would be greatful. 

This is what I am trying to do:

1. Remove one word to the right.
2. Replace that deleted word with two words.

I have looked over the KB commands and tried to replicate some of the actions but to no avail.

When I use this: 

HeardWord "select","that"
SendSystemKeys "{Ctrl+Shift+Right+Del}"
Wait 250
SendSystemKeys "The consumer"

I get this: 

{Ctrl+Shift+Right+Del}The consumer

I have some experience with commands and text expanding software, but I am trying to replace some of my text expander software keystroke commands with voice commands.

Thanking you in advance for your help.

Edited to add:  I am an editor and work with existing text.

It seems to me that your second line is too crowded. That is, you want "Control + Shift + Right" to be one action (the keystrokes that select one word to the right), and you want "delete" to be a second action.

Try SendSystemKeys "{Ctrl+Shift+Right},1"

SendSystemKeys "{Del}"

 The ",1" is a "true" statement. That is, when you're doing two or more consecutive SendKeys (or SendSystemKeys) actions, adding "true" will make it so the second line of keys isn't sent until the first one is complete. Is it necessary? Not always. Is it helpful? More often than not.

Edited to add: since you're working with existing text, maybe a simpler approach would be to work with "find and replace." Depending on your text editor, there are keystrokes to bring up that function. In Microsoft Word 2003 and 2007, it's "Control + H"

Thank you kindly for your reply and suggestions.  I will try your example and see what results in a bit.  Unfortunately, due to recent physical disabilities, I am having to convert my prior keyboard shortcuts and text expander commands to voice commands to aid in my continued ability to work.  This work is production-based pay and I am looking for the fastest way to edit existing text via voice commands.  I have found DNS and KnowBrainer to be very helpful.  I'm sure there is much I have not explored yet in the these softwares and hope to learn a great deal in the near future. 

Again, thank you.

Thank you!  I noticed that it typed each letter one at a time, but I was thrilled that I had at least gotten it to produce that much! 

Enjoy your day.

HeardWord "delete","next","word"
Wait 500
SendKeys "The consumer"

This works great and thanks again.  It was a big help.  One more thing and it would be perfected.  What can I add to the end of the last line to make it add a space between 2 words (consumer ___ next word), as when I use this it results in: The consumernext word. 

???  -  SendKeys "The consumer", "spacebar"

You guys are great.  Thanks for making life easier.

Cathy,

First, you can't put "spacebar" in a SendKeys instruction because it will only printed out as text.

Second, you can probably reduce the wait state, but you need to experiment with how short a wait is required, if at all, because generally there is very little delay that can impact on the execution of command line instructions in this type of command.

Third, avoid multiple instructions in SendKeys command.  Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't.  Since this is a very simple command, you're better off separating out SendKeys "The consumer" and add SendKeys "{Space}" on its own line.  For example, consider the following noting that I've not changed your wait state setting.

HeardWord "delete","next","word"
Wait 500
SendKeys "The consumer"
SendKeys "{Space}"

You may have to add a slight weight between the two SendKeys commands if the command spells out "The consumer" one letter at a time.  However, as Lunis' points out, SendKeys shouldn't do this.

This command works like a charm. I used it about 200 times today, and I grinned every time I used it.

Thanks for your help.
