And here I am, still desperately waiting for the perfect speech to text converter that just removes need of having to type text entirely. I can see a future whe

  o rly? I, and probably the other 'fast' typists here, type a lot faster than they can talk - plus, almost nobody can 'speak' perfectly, so corrections - even if assuming the speech-to-text converter has a 100% accuracy rate - will be very frustrating. A better system would be a thought-to-sane-text conversion. But I doubt that'll ever be possible, :p.

    Right, now that I think about it, even I probably type faster than I speak.

      Speed is not the only thing. The main question is do I want to talk to vim instead of type?

        That would be great, imagine doing that in public :)

  #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { printf("Hello, World!\n"); return 0; } Why would I want to dictate that? "Hash include less than sign(do I mean "less than sign" or "<") stdio.h greater than sign newline(do I mean actual newline or to print newline?) int main open parenthesis(actual or sign)...." And you are assuming if there is a perfect speech to text converter, it's automatically better than typing. I don't see myself using one for most of the tasks. Speaking is too distracting.

    Well, C is made for keyboards. In fact, every programming language I can think of is, so the ones who write with tts must create new languages.
