Voice recognition applications for programming environments

An examination of case studies shows that the use of voice recognition technology is appropriate and feasible for programming environments. These can include operating system level commands creating a standard user interface. Also, for a structured language such as Pascal, voice editing or dictation of such programs is feasible. Also noted is the importance of data acquisition using voice input, since the amounts of data seem to keep growing and to arrive in many different formats. A simplified diagram of software design for the use of voice recognition technology for programming environments is presented
