Commands depend on which window is active.

From the Manual" : To have the available commands read out
loud: ›Voice commands‹

For example, if the "Settings" menu is displayed,
the commands for the settings are read out loud."

All commands are listed in the manual .
See pp. 243-250 for the full list.
There are over (100) commands (in the English language version)

This function seems a waste of time to me (had it in my last three cars and only used it by mistake)

+1 the problem with it is (IMHO) it only needs to make a couple of mistakes (particularly with easy words) and then it loses your trust and you never use again (except to show off to people with a sequence of commands you know will work )

It works really well for me - mainly voice dialling but I'm surprised by how many names it gets right when I've got a couple of hundred in the phonebook.

i've tried it a few times, every time i say something it either says "can you repeat" or it picks "navigation" and takes me to the nav screen.

I've tried it a couple of times on my wife's X3 and it's a complete waste of time. If it could have been "unoptioned" I would have done that in a heartbeat. Hopefully Siri will prove to be a better bet.
