It's interesting if and how the reverse task is possible: if we can type with our voice, can we hear back the feedback?
Hearing back the gobbledygook we pronounce might be a start to a mental disorder. Should the feedback be isomorphic to the input? There could be different levels of abstraction, starting from audio tty and ending with a high level commands. The usable solution would be non-trivial, what should I hear after running make -j? There could have been a commands like "give me the first five warnings", "navigate to the first warning".
Blindfolded navigation in the code tree would also be interesting. I could say commands like "list modules with route handlers", "go to function X", "get the type signature", "summarize function".
If the sane audible feedback would be feasible, it'd open a door into coding for people with visual impairments, or coding while wandering around, or pushing commits with a headset from the beach.
