This repo contains voice commands about Bayesian Data Analysis (BDA) for the automated speech recognition (ASR) software Voice In Plus. The utilization of these custom commands requires a subscription to Voice In Plus. These commands can be used in the text area of most websites opened in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.
They can be used during the dictation of manuscripts about Bayesian data analysis. Some of the commands include equations that are represented as LaTeX math. These short snippets of LaTeX are recognized and rendered correctly by most typesetting languages, including org-mode, an enhanced form of Markdown best used inside of Emacs but available in VS Code and elsewhere.
You can use the commands right away after they have been uploaded. I toggle Voice In on and off by using a keyboard shortcut. I then dictate the command. See the Voice In plug-in documentation to learn how to configure keyboard shortcuts.
Each command is paired with the inserted text on a single line in a comma-separated value file (bda.csv). Use the bulk add button in Voice In Plus to upload these commands into your collection of custom commands.
- Acronyms and their expansions
- Key equations typeset in LaTeX.
- URLs of critical websites.
- Names of key people in the field to ensure the correct spelling of their names.

The basic rule for developing a voice command is to pick a word combination that is very unlikely to be used in one's prose. This choice can avoid the accidental insertion of an unintended set of words.
If you pick a word combination with a subset of words already assigned to another command, the commands will collide, and you will not get the intended effect. It is better to pick a synonym for the new command than include the old one.
