boredom, and ideas

Post by phpdevuk »

I was sat around the other day bored, and got to thinking as I have been using speech recognition when programing recently, currently programing kinda sucks via speech recognition as you basically can't to any great degree, all you can do is copy paste and switch applications, etc.

So I got to thinking why hasn't anyone written a scripting language which is designed to be spoken rather than typed, seems like an obvious move at some point to me.

another idea I had a while ago whilst bored was to take a pda, a lightpen and something like synergy and make a device where you could copy and paste small snippets of code from an editor to the pda and back again, with some kind of interface on the pda to build a library of code snippets, with things like most recent or most used, as a tool for programming.
Kind of moving blocks of code around with the pen, I guess but with the option to paste to various machines via a network aka synergy, and also then having a record of it all on the pda which you could use the pen to flick through, I thought that'd be neat.

Hmm. Have there actually been any creations of programming languages by speech? I imagine that this would be extremely hard to develop.
