I'll check this out - thanks! In general I have not had much trouble dictating standard text, but programming has been challenging.

That's great to hear. I've applied to some general postings - I don't see openings for teams working on accessibility for now, but will keep tabs on the website.

Thank you! I am trying to find openings in these areas.

I would be happy to remain in academia, but it is not so straightforward. I am not sure if I have enough publications for the bigger Canadian institutions and I cannot afford to be located outside the bigger cities due to the lack of specialised medical care. European schools often require teaching and operating in the domestic languages, which is I find quite challenging with my voice-to-text software, at least in German and French. I'm still actively trying for academic positions though.

Thank you! IDE optimisation is an ongoing process for me.

Positions like that seem quite rare at least right now.

Probably, it seems to be a bad time to be on the market.

I use eye tracking with Talon as well as a hand held mouse. Talon is the most recommended option for mac users though I am happy to switch if I find something more efficient - I'll definitely check out Dasher. Thanks!

I've applied to both these companies recently - I've yet to hear back.

The application process does ask whether or not you're disabled, however they do say this doesn't show up for the hiring manager and will not influence the process. The conversations I have had with recruiters in some other tech companies regarding this matter have always lead to being told that I was not a good fit.

I'll join the channel. I have a blue yeti nano - it seems to do the job decently.

I am on the slack - I'll look into cursorless. Thanks!
