Example of coding a program faster than a keyboard using speech recognition software

ByGray

Techniques to input characters by speech recognition have been around since long ago, but there are many cases when you have the impression that it is still far from practical use. However, it turned out that it is possible to program faster than the keyboard with speech recognition input.

This movie is a programming language "Python"World Conference at Python Conference 2013 You can see how the program is coded by voice recognition input faster than typing by keyboard.

Presenting the state of program coding by voice input isTavis RuddMr.


This is the state of the working desk of Rudd. I have a display and a microphone but I do not use a keyboard.


First of all, I ask "Who has tried speech recognition input?" If you say "Let's hold a hand while having fun using it", you will lift your hands.


Rudd said in January 2010 rock climbing caused the shoulder and back muscle to hurt and typing could not be done. Mr. Rudd who was a programmer can not do the job.


At such time "Dragon Naturally Speaking"And started using voice input software. Even after the wound healed, Rudd said he continued programming by voice input.


Rudd customizes the voice input editor on its own. Here is an example of the voice command. For example, if you say "slap" towards the microphone you will break a line. Considering closely, since there are sounds corresponding to both "L" and "R", consideration is given to allowing even people who can not speak English natively speak, and about 2000 voice commands are prepared It is being done.


The voice command "snore (snore)" puts it to sleep mode and "sleep" is released with "wake up". Rudd will program using snore and wake up to explain to the audience. The code of the program created by voice input below.


"Because the time of this demo was short, we could not introduce complicated functions," Rudd says.


"Everyone may use the keyboard for entering characters ... ...."


"I am using this (Mike)" and I will show Mike. By the way, in order to input voice, the microphone seems to need a high performance one with noise cancellation function.


Rudd says, "Speech recognition software has been developed by excellent people over time and development will continue in the future." And the speech recognition device will be at its peak.


Rudd who has already healed scratches on the shoulder and can enter the keyboard, but he seems to continue programming with voice input for 40% to 60% of the time in the future.
