Programming and Speech Recognition
January 8, 2009
We are a long way away from the Star Trek ideal of programming a computer via speech recognition. This is a hilarious video of some guys using Windows Vista software recognition to write a Perl script.
Perl is a programming language which loosely derives syntax from C. It is case sensitive and has special meanings for lots of symbols like these: `'{}.,;:”()<>!?*&+-|^@/\~_#%=
Hilarity ensues.
On the other hand, maybe the great Trek future is not so far away.
