Voice typing software for programming.

... that'd be a "nope, sorry". Are you doing RSI/CTS therapy?

Exactly yesterday late night I was thinking EXACTLY about this.

It would be cool a program to which you can say words like for, while, function, class, and it automatically writes up the appropiate structure for you to complete. With left, right, up, down commands it wouldn't be that difficult to code by voice.

Do it the Dilbert style and hire a English/Journalism major to type for you!

Get a freeweight and exercise your wrist(s). Take a 5lbs (or 2lbs if you are a girly man, but the overall weight isn't as important as it providing some restistence) and hold in it your hand.

Now use your free hand to brace your arm against a surface like the arm of a chair or your leg (basically you want your wrist to be moving, not your whole arm). Start with your hand facing up and do 10 flexes up and down, moving the wrist through a that single axis of motion - do the flexes very slowly and deliberately. Unless your wrist is very sore at the time the weight should be nothing, it's the activation of the wrist muscles you're after.

Now change position and repeat with the hand facing down for 10 more, then with your hand facing inward (sideways, but still doing an up-down motion in relation to the ground).

And the less boring and exhausting version of Michalsons advice:

I’m pretty sure I already have CTS. Won't exercising the wrists make my carpal tunnel worse?

I don't know, why not ask a doctor?

Has American healthcare gotten so bad that GDNet is now cheaper than your HMO?

i think your throat will quickly get even more sore than your wirst.

No, most Americans are just too lazy to talk to a doctor. Some are even too lazy to use a search engine to find information verified by five doctors related to CPS.

Just don't spin AIDS.

The answer is "No".


To understand why, see ApochPiQ's post.

The only way you are going to get things like the originally suggested example of "mTargetCmp" is if you spell out each letter individually. Your voice will need medical attention long before you get anything useful created.


However, fundamentally different tasks could be possible with that kind of interface. You could probably build gui front-ends moderately easy with voice input.
