Software Lets Programmers Code Hands-free

Yetihehe writes "New Scientist is reporting about a new speech recognition tool that promises to let programmers write clean code without ever having to lay a finger on their keyboard. 'The tool, called VoiceCode, has been developed to help programmers with repetitive strain injury (RSI). This is a common affliction for people who spend a lot of time using a keyboard or mouse and causes pain in muscles, tendons and nerves in a sufferer's arms and back. Some estimates suggest 22% of all US computer programmers, or 100,000 people, suffer from the condition.'"

Yeah this will work. I can't wait to see people trying to pronounce some of the stdlib functions, not to mention some of the other goofy things that people generally use.

Picture it:
Programmer: int df = strcmp( lhs, rhs );
Computer: int diff = stircomp(lis, ris);

Programmer: Noooooooooooooo!
Computer: You're more luser, than 1337. I'm going to bluescreen now.
