A demonstration of attempting to write a Perl script using Windows Vista's built-in speech recognition, resulting in humorous errors.

What people say. Shared as a classic, humorous demonstration of the early limitations of voice-controlled programming.

On “Oral Programming Language?”

I'm going to call you naive. Not stupid naive - definitely wishful thinking though. Your ideas boils down to three parts. ~~I'm on mobile, so bear with me.~~ First, oral programming isn't a good idea. It can be, but we have a long way to go before it becomes a commonplace method. Speech recognition has come a long way such that untrained voice recognition still does a great job. But programming in existing languages have syntaxes that aren't speech friendly. You could create a language with better syntax for speech, but then it would become cumbersome to edit with a keyboard. You can have really well defined vocal syntax for common idioms like for loops. You'll probably fall into [much more…

On “The accessibility of a programming language”

I found this resource. It's not really helpful whatsoever, except that it really makes its point, which may itself be of use to you. I stumbled on it when googling for things that might be relevant, and then wondered why it had over a million views. This needs to be watched for at least a minute or so, the longer the better, for some definition of "better". [video

On “Programming by Voice: Staying Productive Without Harming Yourself”

this is all I think of when I think about programming by voice: link to this video I remember laughing so hard the first time I saw this. (granted its from vista, and I know voice has come a long way since then) However I could see myself using voice commands that activate Macros or other actions. I just bought a Nexus9 and am going to try to use it for coding, I can definitely see potentially using voice commands to augment that workflow.

On “Ask HN: Could voice commands make programming easier?”

I imagine it might turn out something like link to this video - Which may not be the best. Coding using voice is incredibly tiresome and with the speed most programmers can type is unnecessary. However, saying that, if you have a voice to text engine that _works_, you could theoretically have some fun with different compiler settings. For example, saying "Go" to continue after breakpoints could be fun, meaning you can just lay back whilst trying to find the issues with your code.
