A developer demonstrates how they use Talon Voice and a Tobii eye tracker to program hands-free due to RSI.

I had to learn to code by voice. Finally, I've found a solution to not being able to type for long periods of time because of RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) - hands free coding! I now use Talon Voice and a Tobii eye tracker to control my computer using voice recognition. It's great accessibility software that I didn't even know existed until I suddenly needed it!

2023 edit: Just wanted to pop back and say that I do still code by voice :) And that I mostly use serenade.ai/ these days, which has been good for me for front end coding in VS code specifically. Talon and Serenade AI are both great tools for coding via speech :)

What people say. Recommended as a practical demonstration of hands-free programming using voice control and eye tracking.
On “Are there programming languages designed to be written on a smartphone device? We write code in letters, but given the rise of the iPhone and tactile screens I would expect a new gen of languages designed to be coded on a touch screen?”
There is no need for a touch screen for writing code.
There is no need for a keyboard either.
You can use a microphone and an eye tracker for programming.
