There is an easy way to create a shortcut for any (or an arbitrary) Dragon command.

First create a tiny pgEmulate.vbs script and put it somewhere accessible. This script, when run directly, presents an input box that lets you type or dictate some text for Dragon to recognize. So if you type in or dictate a command name (careful of capitalization, which counts here), Dragon will treat that input as if you said it. The script also lets you optionally pass in a parameter for what you want to say, so skips the input box and goes right to recognizing that text.

For the first version, create a shortcut on your desktop to the vbs script. Assign it a shortcut key (apparently you can only use Ctrl + Alt + Letter combos in the Shortcut properties) or use AHK or ME to assign any hotkey or hotstring combo of your choice. For the second version, just edit the target property to add the command to be recognized in quotes, such as:

C:\pgEmulate.vbs "what can I say"

and give it a shortcut key, too.

Here is pgEmulate.vbs (create in any text editor, just make sure to change the extension from .txt to .vbs).

if WScript.Arguments.Count > 0 then x = WScript.Arguments(0)
if x = "" then x = InputBox("Enter your command or text:")
Set Dgn = GetObject("","Dragon.DgnEngineControl")
Dgn.Register
if x <> "" then Dgn.RecognitionMimic(x)
Dgn.UnRegister(0)
Set Dgn = Nothing

If you put this in a convenient spot, you can use it in your scripts to asynchronously run a recogniton:

ShellExecute "D:\path to\pgEmulate.vbs ""phrase to be recognized""", 6

Or, with a variable expression:

x = "phrase to be recognized"
ShellExecute "D:\path to\pgEmulate.vbs """ & x & """", 6

More about ShellExecute and that 6 at the end: here.  (Hint, it's supposed to run in a minimized background window - ymmv.)
