 Description  « Hide
As a suffer from RSI I often wish that programming by voice was possible.
With Vista's built in speech recognition and the .NET speech API it should be possible to do something intelligent built on top of R#.
I know this isn't a simple thing to implement, but perhaps it could be considered.

I'd say rather VS should be voice-enabled. Anyway, what would you like to do via voice interface?

I agree, VS should be voice enabled. That probably means activating various parts of the UI by voice.
However there's the more general problem of coding by voice. Code isn't natural speech so special support would be required.
See this http://voicecode.iit.nrc.ca/VoiceCode/public/wiki.cgi?Why_code_dictation_is_so_hard
Since R# knows about what symbols and identifiers are available in the current context it could assist in entering identifiers.
R# has live templates. These could be voice enabled.
R#'s various dialogs could accept voice as pascal/camel cased identifiers instead of natural language.
It's not trivial.
