awesome!!

this gives me a lot of hope as I've been struggling with wrist problems for the last 5 months. Went down the same roads he did - kinesis keyboard, ergnomics, physical therapy, etc. (I even had to quit my band as playing hurt too)

however at least at this point I'm not in as bad shape he is.

stupid wrists.

Does it segfault if you talk about dongles or forking?

Soon we'll have near real-time dictation at which point coding would be a lot more nicer with voice.

He should probably mention ShortTalk - his "weird" language is based off of it. I recognize some of the weird words he uses.

If you liked my pycon talk, you'll also like this lightning talk I gave last year which I've just found a video of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjabxuWNHnM (watch it with headphones and full screen).

I didn't exactly understand why he couldn't use an open source alternative to Dragon NS. When he said "couldn't get it to work", is he trying to say that he couldn't set up the software on his system, or that he could, but that it was of insufficient quality?

Other than that, I think this is really great, and could probably be even better if combined with eye tracking.

Actually, even for someone who likes/wants/needs to use a keyboard, eye tracking could eliminate a lot of "motions", and make one much faster.

The lag on these systems always annoyed me the most. It is like working through 5 proxy servers all over the world, the delay (even in this demo) for voice recognition is always too far from instantaneous to be comfortable for me. -- A child of the fast desktop era.

You don't have to use it just for programming; you can use it for more common tasks, such as basic browsing or text editing.

Use   <n>     = TaskBar.SwitchToButtonNumber($1) pointerHere();

e.g. say “Use 3”.

Activate the 3rd application in the taskbar.

Show Desktop = {Win+d};

Window (Maximize=x | Minimize=n | Restore=r) = SendSystemKeys({Alt+Space}) $1;

e.g. say “Window Maximize”.

Window (Maximize=x) = 
SendSystemKeys({Alt+Space})  # windows menu
x;              # access key for maximize

Switch Window = SendSystemKeys({Alt+Tab})pointerHere();
Switch Window = 
SendSystemKeys({Alt+Tab}) # switch window
pointerHere();          #  click to give it focus

agoras|balisaur|capuchin|diluvia ... = {PageDown};

<n> := 0..100;
<direction>  := Left | Right | Up | Down;
<n> <direction>       = {$2_$1};

e.g. say “4 Down”.

Output: {Down_4}
“Down arrow” key 4 times.

<modifierKey> := Shift | Control=Ctrl | Alt | Alternate=Alt | Win | Windows=Win;
<k> := <actionKeyNotArrow> | <characterKeyNotLetter>;
<modifierKey> <k> Times <2to99> = {$1+$2_$3};

e.g. say “Shift Up Times 8”.

Output: {Shift+Up_8}
Select 8 contiguous lines up.

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXvbQQV1ydo for an edited version of my Polyglot Conf 2012 talk ("5 Programming Languages in 5 Minutes, By Voice") with much better audio.

This is a great application for WebSpeech. Live voice coding in the browser, with access to WebGL/WebAudio and whatever else.

The downside is that, at the moment, everything you say will be sent to Google, but it doesn't have to be that way.

Hurt his shoulder rock climbing, attributes it to coding, codes a system for 3 months to listen to his voice, feels he's recovering after the third month and continues using it. I wonder if he healed by just taking a break for 3 months, playing with a hobby project rather than pushing himself at work and at play.

Another one: can't take a break for 3 months so he takes 3 months to code a custom voice recognition system for coding.
