Full example using regex

In this example, a speech command "Zoom Level X" with a dynamic number is added like this:

<speech_modify_commands_in_grammar id="speech_add_commands">
    <param name="grammar">xGuide</param>
    <param name="slot">wf_editor_slot</param>
    <param name="modification">add_commands</param>
    <param name="commands"><![CDATA[?{
                    var cmds = [];
                    var i;
                    for(i = 1; i <= 5; i++){
                        cmds.push({ 'name': "ANDRRES_zoom_level " + i, 'description': `ANDRRES_zoom_level [1-5]`});
                    }
                    cmds
            }?]]></param>
    <param name="reset_before" type="bool">false</param>
</speech_modify_commands_in_grammar>

With "ANDRRES_zoom_level" we are using a resource string from Frontline Workplace which will be translated automatically based on the user language. In this rule, we want to react to the speech command. However, we always want to compare this with the same command, not with translations of the command. Thus the speech_word_mapping action is used to map the translated command to the command we will be using in the rule. 

<speech_word_mapping id="zoom_level_mapping_action_add">
    <param name="action">add</param>
    <param name="input">ANDRRES_zoom_level ([1-5])</param>
    <param name="output">ZOOM LEVEL $1</param>
    <param name="is_regex">true</param>
    <param name="sub_mapping">1</param>
</speech_word_mapping>
