Programming out loud
From: Technology Review - December 2001 - page 18

Writing software by voice can be extremely tedious. Code that would take a
few keystrokes to type must be spoken as lengthy word strings containing
hyphens, slashes and barely pronounceable commands. Alain Desilets of the
National Research Council of Canada in Ottawa is developing a software tool
called VoiceCode that makes programming by voice a lot simpler. Instead of
having to dictate tongue twisting syntax, the programmer can use a simplified
pseudocode.The software infers punctuation symbols from context, for example,
liberating the programmer from having to utter every comma, bracket and
semicolon. It automatically converts the pseudocode into working code in such
common languages as C, C++, or Java. Desilets plans to begin distributing
VoiceCode as a free, open-source application early in 2002.
