Re: Typing Perl with Speech Recognition

I'm amazed that he didn't learn how to use the voice recognition software before making the video (of himself making a fool of himself).

It was, however, quite hilarious as his frustration mounted and his verbal abuse was duly printed on the screen. I think my favourite outburst, which almost had me falling off my chair, was:

"Type N or I'll f***ing kill you!"

If it takes 10 minutes to generate four very short lines of code, I think I'll stick with my keyboard for now. :-)

There is a PyCon talk of a guy who taught emacs to accept grunts as edit-commands, and his demos work quite well (haven't seen it completely) See http://youtube.com/watch?v=8SkdfdXWYaI Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Je suis Charlie!} update Though sharing the office with grunting colleagues is not my favorite utopia ...

I haven't seen the complete video yet, but speech recognition on my phone alone is already impressive and would only need shaping for the programming context. > "Give enough chimps, enough voice-controlled text editors, and they'll produce the works of Shakespeare." Ok, Shakespeare! ;-) Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Je suis Charlie!}	[reply]
