A script to run MacSpeech Dictate without touching your computer!

Question

Hello everyone! I am new to this forum, this is my first AppleScript I have written, it's a real easy one, but I am proud of it! It may be totally useless, but I am still going to post it!
The script is designed to be put in the main folder of the directory "Username>Library>Speech" and used with the built in "Speech" function of all new macs, to initiate the program "MacSpeech Dictate" application, then shut off the built in "Speech" and open a new dictation note pad.
I use this when it is late at night and I have an idea for my novel's, or just a weird dream I want to remember. I leave my mac running by my bed and when I wake up with my idea I say, "Begin Dictate" then wait about 5 seconds, then start to talk and the computer records everything I say, then I go back to sleep. I never have to move from my very comfy, very WARM bed!
Anyway, I hope this might help someone, somewhere.
tell application "MacSpeech Dictate.app"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
if UI elements enabled then
tell process "MacSpeech Dictate"
set frontmost to true
tell menu bar 1
tell menu "File"
click menu item "New Note Pad"
end tell
tell menu "Speech"
click menu item "Microphone On"
end tell
end tell
end tell
tell process "Finder"
key down {command, shift}
keystroke "z"
key up {command, shift}
end tell
tell process "MacSpeech Dictate"
set frontmost to true
end tell
end if
end tell
PS: The dashes aren't part of the script. Just saying, in case someone might not know!
