Has anyone had success with Dragon Naturally Speaking voice recognition software when it comes to programming?
I am wondering because I think it would be a lot faster than me typing by hand, and easier on my carpol-tunnel.
I program from day to day in visual basic 6 ide, visual studio 2008 ide + team explorer, writing emails, and chatting over Windows Live IM.
I have a need for a command-based interface where I can bind voice commands to keystrokes, switch between spelling / saying words / saying words without spaces, etc.
Any comments are much appreciated.
Speech recognition technologies such as Alexa, Cortana, Google Assistant and Siri are changing the way people interact with their devices, homes, cars, and jobs. The technology allows us to talk to a computer or device that interprets what we're saying in order to respond to our question or command.
There are two types of speech recognition. One is called speaker–dependent and the other is speaker–independent. Speaker–dependent software is commonly used for dictation software, while speaker–independent software is more commonly found in telephone applications.
Speech recognition involves three processes: extraction of acoustic indices from the speech signal, estimation of the probability that the observed index string was caused by a hypothesized utterance segment, and determination of the recognized utterance via a search among hypothesized alternatives.
I think that "voice programming" and "programming by voice" search better "speech recognition programming". It has been tried but not yet caught on.
The first hand accounts I've read all seem to agree that programming by voice can be tough on the vocal cords. Then they go on to say how it is getting better and a really usable system may be right around the corner. The first time I read that was in the late 1990s...
