All joking aside, I am interested in how well this might work outside of a11y use-cases. Speaking is just so natural. It doesn't have to be used exclusively but I do want to find out if there are cases where it's just nicer to say a command during coding than remembering all kinds of keyboard shortcuts. I always wonder if a more hybrid approach of using touch, speaking and typing for various situations could feel better than keyboard all the way.

- itsbits 5y agohybrid approach should really be handy. Don't think only voice coding for enabled, becoming standard anytime soon.
- prawn 5y agoI've often imagined a voice-command layer for an OS or apps that doesn't steal focus. So, you could be working in a particular app, and be giving instructions by voice to prepare other parts of your workflow.
