Dictation for coding?
-
Have any of you used voice dictation for coding? Are there specialized applications that support this?

The Digital World. It is an amazing place in which we primitive humans interact. Our flesh made this synthetic machine. You see, we are so smart, we know a lot of stuff. We were grown from cells that came from the universe, which the matter and physics I'm typing in it is amazing how the universe is working. Human life is very amazing. How I experience this sh*t its like wow.

ha, that would be funny. it'd be interesting to see how they differentiate "colon" from ":" or "semi colon" from "semi :" from ";" :laugh:

Artificial intelligence, the algorithm's design would be specific to the programming language being dictated. There can also be a flexible, 'programmable' algorithm which would load parameters and scripts from a file. It is not impossible, but highly futile. If you are blind or handless, you are just going to have to wait for mind reading technology, or a computer program that is intelligent enough to develop the program from specifications you verbally define.

I've yet to find a programming language that treats the digestive tract as keywords :) Could be kinda fun: Colon.AttachedTo = Sphincter; if(Sphincter.Contract()) { Anus.Expel; }

I'm sure that Osmo character has it well in hand. :)

I once worked with a guy years ago that wrote 8051 assembler with paper and pencil and had his secretary (yes, he had a secretary) type the code in for him. We never liked to get too close to the machines he was writing control software for...

The one vote is cause I forgot to turn the joke icon on. :) As far as who is osmo, well that's a long story, but he used to frequent here but hasn't been around for quite some time. His website is here[^]. I'll probably get oned again for providing a link. :doh: :)

Did he or the secretary do the debugging? :-D

:) Unfortunately, the debug process was us mopping crushed cases of Pepto Bismol and shampoo off the warehouse floor from the inevitable crashes. It did keep you on your toes.

I've tried, it is not feasible.

My wife uses Dragon Dictate for non-coding apps and it works great. El Corazon was looking for a solution for this some time ago - I think his conclusion was that he could save a lot of typing by using dictation for commenting but still typing code. I'm sure he will see this and reply. I suspect that it is possible, but probably painful at this stage. The biggest issue with standard packages is probably the non-dictionary variable names code is littered with. Maybe if someone did a lot of customisation to tie it into intellisense it may be feasible??

I use Dragon Naturally speaking 9...I think it may be the one that replaced Dragon Dictate(?) I havent tried it much for programming as i have enough trouble typing working code lol, but for normal use it works great... and it even knows the differences between "Colon" and ":" You can add pre-defined commands and sections of text so that all you have to do is say something like "select XXXXX... make comment" or whatever your purpose is

Yes, that's what my wife uses - I'm just in the dark ages and still call it Dragon Dictate. It does work great, pretty well straight out of the box, and does formatting etc well for office documents. The main thing to remember is that it learns, so you should fix things the correct way and tell DD about it, not just go back and type in corrections. If you don't tell it when it makes a mistake it thinks it is correct and learns to make them again.

I like how it reads all your emails and changes its writing style to suit.. i dont like how it comments on who I talk to, and how I shouldnt have said that thing i said, and the football team i support sucks, etc... :doh:

The AI is pretty advanced, sounds like yours is developing a personality - just wait for the teenage years when it rebels.

That doesnt worry me as much as all the loose women it keeps bringing home off the internet

Ah you have an advanced one there - I'd enrol it in an online uni and see if it can learn to write your code for you.

I would but it squandered all my money on some online casino :-(
