# Commands

> Build custom dictation commands

Dictation commands let the clinician control the editor by voice. Medera ships a default command set; you can extend it per deployment.

## Default commands

| Phrase             | Command         | Args         |
| :----------------- | :-------------- | :----------- |
| "new paragraph"    | `new_paragraph` | —            |
| "next section"     | `next_section`  | —            |
| "period"           | `period`        | —            |
| "comma"            | `comma`         | —            |
| "scratch that"     | `delete_last`   | —            |
| "go to assessment" | `goto_section`  | `assessment` |

## Custom commands

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "name": "insert_template",
  "phrases": ["insert template {name}"],
  "args": { "name": "string" }
}

```
