But this video is nearly 10 years old!

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

Though sharing the office with grunting colleagues is not my favorite utopia ...

    Paraphrasing an old saying (with updated technology):

    "Give enough chimps, enough voice-controlled text editors, and they'll produce the works of Shakespeare."

      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.

      Ok, Shakespeare! ;-)
