I dearly wish I could have a Speech Recognition aspect to the 'creative' and CAD-like software I use - I think it would be fantastic to be able to do two or three operations 'at the same time' - eg. click an object with the mouse, hit ctrl on the keyboard to lock to some plain or angle, as I use the mouse to move, or whatever, whilst verbally instructing the software to 'zoom viewport out' or achieve whatever other function that is vaguely complicated or buried in the GUI somewhere.
Otherwise, I have absolutely no desire to 'talk' to my computer and have it understand me, unless that tech comes packaged with an empathic AI module so I can tell it off and repay it a small percentage of the emotional pain computers have inflicted upon me over the decades.
- stainforth 6y agoJust because this thread is dealing with user interaction in general, I do know there are also foot pedals people use as modifiers or input actions along the lines of what you're saying.
- detritus 6y agoThanks - I've played around with tertiary inputs a couple of times over the years, from MIDI-based level boards to a '3D' input device for CAD. The speech recognition would be, I think, ideal for function interactions harder to describe than that which a switch or a level could achieve - eg "Fill highlighted image with Red and make 50% transparent" or something. The critical benefit would be to be able to do this whilst at the same time 'controlling' the focus with a mouse and keyboard at the same time.
