Windows Speech Recognition is far from the best, so perhaps your trouble could be partly caused by how you had to speak in order to be understood, rather than the command style? I used to use WSR to code by voice, and it was far more laborious than my current setup.

I develop kaldi-active-grammar [0]. The Kaldi engine is state of the art for command and control. Although I don't have the data and resources for training a model like Microsoft/Nuance/Google, being an open rather than closed system allows me to train models that are far more personalized than the large commercial/generic ones you are used to. For example, see the video of me using it [1], where I can speak in a relaxed manner without having to over enunciate and strain my voice.

Gathering the data for such training does take some time, but the results can be huge [2]. Performing the actual training is currently complicated; I am working on making it portable and more turnkey, but it's not ready yet. However, I am running test training for some people. Contact me if you want me to use you as a guinea pig.
