VR Commander does a fine job of letting you control your computer through the use of voice commands. Its uncluttered interface makes it easy to get started right away, with several common application templates to choose from. We particularly like the option to use an Activation Key, allowing us to use VR commander only when and where we need it. Creating new templates for voice commands also is fairly easy, with an intuitive dialog box that takes you through the process of creating each command in the sequence. After some trial and error, anyone can start creating templates for their favorite applications including games, but VR Commander comes with several premade templates for common programs such as Microsoft Outlook and Windows Media Player. We would have preferred a longer period of time to review this app, as the demo limited us to only seven days. If you're in the market for quality speech-recognition software and are willing to do a thorough testing in the seven-day allotment, VR Commander is a great option.
It's fast, efficient and to the point. A small program that's simple to use if you don't want to get into really complicated processes
Cons
While it has it's pros and is a a great program...I found a better one that's freeware called "Say-Now". This program is great, except Say-Now does everything this one does and more. That's why this is 4/5 rating.

Pros
VR-Commander has changed the way I use my computer. With it you can open files and folders, start programs and even execute everyday Windows commands like cut, copy, paste, print and empty the recycle bin - all with voice commands (I have 72 commands in my Windows control template). For me it works best when used in conjunction with a hotkey mapping utility. It's ability to perform tasks is only limited by your imagination. Now when I have to work on another computer with a keyboard and mouse I feel like I'm back in the dark ages!

Pros
excellent program for browsing, also for script writing. takes some effort to make the templates, but comes with a few and you can download more from their site. everything they say it is. excellent support. you can`t beat the price.
Cons
wish it could talk then type, instead of type then "talk", but then you don`t have the mistakes to correct.

Pros
Nice little program. I really like the text string command types for emails. I have to send many of the same emails over and over. Now I use VR Commander to paste in the different responses using voice commands. Works great for my voice and for my husband. Super easy to use. The template approach they use is key to making this thing easy to manage. I hope you all enjoy it like I do!
Cons
Summary

Pros
When I first used it, I was stunned that how easily it was working on my voice. I tried it on windows media player and outlook, which obeyed me like a good servent. I created my own template to work with my browser Opera, and it worked so nice that I browsed the net with it for 2 hours. It was so fun and enjoyment that computer is working on my voice command. I tried a couple of Voice command software but no one gave me so much satisfaction. Use it and you will definitely like it. Best thing is flexibility it gives to the user; in few minutes you will be commanding your programs with voice. It is very easy to enable a program with your voice. You can get 1 step ahead of your friends by using VR Commander.
Cons
It does not have much templates of programs.
Summary
Great recognition, easy to setup, very useful !

Add a voice command and control interface to PC Games, CAD, or any Windows application.VR Commander is a state of the art voice command and control program that adds a voice interface to virtually any windows based application. Simulate keystrokes, run any file or script, and input text strings of any size into games and applications using voice commands. This technology is so powerful it is used to command and control some of today's most advanced fighter aircraft. Built in noise cancellation technology even allows VR Commander to work with Bluetooth headsets. It's the perfect compliment to VOIP. Version 3.1 adds new templates.
