In the spring of 1999, I decided to learn a new programming language called Python.  As my first programming project I decided to use Python to create a new and better command and control subsystem for Dragon NaturallySpeaking.

This little exercise has proven to be very successful and I have decided (after much agonzing) to make my effort publically available.  This section contains everything you will need to use Python as a command and control language for Dragon NaturallySpeaking, and to control Dragon NaturallySpeaking.

Warning: This topic is more advanced than most of the things I post on my web site but it is also a lot more powerful (and potentially useful) than anything else I have posted.  You have been warned.
