Dictation for coding?

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 :-(

Never tell your dictation software your credit card number..

I didnt need to... its in my computer... i made the mistake of buying something over the net, it looked at it then... well... (Me < $1) = True "There are three sides to every story.

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've spotted a bug in your code; should be : if (Sphincter.Relax()) { Anus.Expel(_poo); } If you contract your sphincter, you're going to get into a recursive loop and pop an eyeball trying to expel. Just sayin' :)

Have any of you used voice dictation for coding? Are there specialized applications that support this?
I've tried Dragon Speaking for a technical user manual. I probably completed the job in less time than typing, but the first half was slow going while it (and I) learned. (Typical, "No, std not STD, you dumb a$$. Delete that. Delete that. Delete that. ess tee dee. Ah, that's better. Delete that. Delete that. Microphone off. Ah, that's better. Microphone on..." The second half needed fewer corrections so it went quicker. But that was a LOT of typing and over half was English language. Entering code would be much worse. It TRIES real hard to make correct English words and sentences from what you speak.

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.
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.

There are blind typists around, presumably working with screen reader software or braille read-out. I'm sure I've either read about or talked to someone who knew a blind programmer. I'd be surprised if there was just the one. I agree that the speech-recognition approach may not be viable yet.

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

A friend of mine in college was a CS major, and blind. He had a laptop computer with a braille terminal underneath it. Later he upgraded to a better laptop that had a smaller braille terminal and text-to-speech software. The synthesizer talked very quickly, but he said that he got used to it in a pretty short time.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=KyLqUf4cdwc[^]. Sweet, I love how CP adds the tags around the link as you paste it. Anyway, this is a link to a video of a guy trying to make a simple Perl program to read and dump a text file to the console|stdout. 10 minutes later... However, he is using Vista's default voice app, along with notepad, so I cant imagine ANY voice software would think *OH! he's coding*

I'm looking forward to the thought-reading neckband[^] approach. It's already geared toward a limited set of words and organized output. If it can move a wheelchair in directions, it had better be able to move a cursor.
