Voice Recognition and Developing/Coding?
I was emailing with a reader the other day talking about voice recognition software projects and developing.  They were asking about what I'd seen "out there" and asking about whether development (and specifically SQL) would work well with voice recognition. 

I've worked with a certain fiery-breathed software application on just about every release that has come out.  Every time I've really looked forward to using it, only to be disappointed.  It seems there are other projects out there too, a few specifically targeting developing and writing code using voice recognition.  

Have you had any luck with this?  I've read a number of responses talking about how it seemed that it would be tough, that you'd be talking all day long as you write the code, etc.  On the flip side, with well-defined databases, tables and attributes of the database system, is that enough to have a standardized vocabulary such that it could actually work?  I'm not sold, but wanted to ask.  What's your experience been like with voice recognition specifically for development projects?

Send me a quick email, let me know...
