Great book!

Once I got the basics working with the DragonFly and Natlink libraries I mentioned, I bootstrapped the rest mostly by voice.

The mic I used in the video can actually cope with very noisy environments. With lesser mics, speech recognition is useless with even mild background noise.

I used a Kinesis for many years and had a great chair and ergonomic setup before developing the RSI that I describe in the video.

Hi, I'm the guy in the video. You might also be interested in a presentation I gave last Sept at Strangeloop with a much longer demo of coding in Clojure and Elisp: http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Programming-Voice

There's also this lightning talk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXvbQQV1ydo from PolyglotConf (warning: crappy audio from a shaky cell phone cam).

I promised to release my duct tape code later this year. I'm a bit behind schedule with that but it should be out in a month or two.

For the impatient, the demo starts around 8:20.
