I was reading an article on the New Scientist Tech, reporting Software that lets programmers code hands-free. This remind me something that we were doing with VoiceXML and PHPVoice to let you edit your VoiceXML application Via Voice. The application I have worked on was something that read the available VoiceXML tags one after the other using the VoiceXML Naviguator, then you can give orders to edit, delete, copy ... etc or execute the application. The execution is always appended with a new menu allowing to get back to the edit more.

A new speech recognition tool 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.
