<div dir="ltr">Hi Peter,<div><br></div><div>I am considering a multi-modal approach. I would like to get the prediction of Dasher incorporated with the autocompletion of Eclipse. I have a student who is severely physically disabled whose dream is to create such a product. I have another student who is a fantastic programmer who is interested in helping with this project. This is a project I want to do with my students and so I have several manmonths to work on this. I have limited experience with speak recognition. I worked with the code of one of the lead programmers of Siri in graduate school who created a smart meeting room for his dissertation.</div>

Programming with speech recognition has been done before - with very<br>
convincing results:<br>

<br>
How you could get started mostly depends on what exactly you want to<br>
achive: Do you just want to control the IDE or do you want to actually<br>
code?<br>
<br>
The first one is obviously easy, the latter on a bit more tricky but<br>
mostly doable.<br>
<br>
How much time do you have to spent on this (manmonths)? Do you have<br>
experience with speech recognition? What is your target programming<br>
language (the one in which the user should code - I'm guessing Java<br>
since you mentioned eclipse)?<br>
<br>
I saw you posting something similar about Dasher to gnome-a11y. Are<br>
you simply trying to compare different open source a11y solutions or<br>
are you considering a multi-modal approach?<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
