More Than One Command In Speech Recognition

As the tittle said, I am wondering if it is possible to give the speech recognition more than one command at a time? For example, if I say search for the glyph it will activate glyph tracking and say something like glyph tracking enabled. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
