Ask HN: Voice Controlled Programming?

5 pointsWoodenChair3 comments

I program in a myriad of languages (Objective-C, Swift, Python, Java, Dart, JavaScript) and I'm looking for a way to do so using my voice. Voice recognition seems to be decent for prose, but how can I write code using it? I'm on a Mac. My ideal solution would work with Xcode. It seems to me the built-in Nuance/OS X recognition does not work well for code.

This is the only guy I know of who's doing coding primarily by voice. Interesting to watch.

Thank you for posting this, because it's cool and inspirational. Unfortunately, for what I do, I really do need something that works with Xcode. Does anyone have experience with Mac dictation software other than OS X's built-in thing?
