Speech Recognition for Programmers - Tell it what to do
housetier:
Quick! Where is it?
You can download it right hurr.
Uhm... and what is it?
Voice Code is an Open Source initiative (...) to develop tools for programming by voice.

So in essence you speak and it writes code!
OK, What's the catch?
I only very recently saw it on slashdot, followed the link to the original article and from there to the voicecode site. I have *not tested* the software, I haven't even downloaded it yet.
Also there are some limitations to the supported programming languages. But this is open source software, I am sure it will catch up very quickly.
kthx, next!
I will try this nice piece of software and see how well it does for me. I find the idea very intriguing.
What are your thoughts? Have you had experience with voice recognition software in general? I 'd like to hear about it...
housetier:
Well I did try to install it, but on the installation manual I saw it needed a software called "Naturally Speaking"; just by the name I could tell it wouldn't be available for linux... The .zip archive of VoiceCode that I downloaded contained a bunch of .exe and one .msi file: hardly, what I call open source.
So it seems I'll be out of the game for a while...
Some things are too nice to be true.
housetier:
still no updates here :(

Since when has open source meant cross platform?
housetier:
I am really tempted to ignore such provocative statements, because they usually miss the point. I will make an exception, hoping to clear things up:
no source = not a chance to cross compile
no source = I don't like it
no source = I dont't trust it
Please don't try to nail me with terminology, I will easily wiggle my way out of that.
