Does anybody know where else it can be found? Follow peterbe on Twitter. Why does Microsoft try to develop this? Jakob Nielsen wrote a recent alert box about speech recognition software - he argues that the only reason we persist in developing speech recognition is because we've seen it in the movies and we think it's cool.

I agree with him on this one - I remember using speech recognition on the first PowerMac ten years ago, and it was rubbish then.

The evidence here is that it is still rubbish! Other interfaces like mouse, keyboards, even touchscreens are so much more efficient. Perhaps if you could use it for limited basic things like controlling iTunes.

The voice recognition software could apply differently depending on what application is in focus. It has been removed - But they put back up all over the place Mac OS X already has Perl installed. Open a Terminal application in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder and run perl -v to find out which version.

This is the simplest way to install the latest version of Perl.

Shea is a senior software engineer at Fastly Inc. She was eager to move beyond the traditional combination of a keyboard and a mouse and showed the audience an inspiring demo of how it worked — in which five lines of perfectly written and punctuated code require just 45 seconds of dictation.

Shea starts with a good microphone and speech-recognition software. But best of all, the whole solution can be configured using Python code in locally-hosted files. For example, if there are language-specific commands, she can indicate that they should only be active when working on files with language-specifying file extensions like. All the letters of the alphabet rhyme with other letters, she points out, which could lead to accuracy issues. One of the unique problems of working by voice: homophones.

About 20 minutes into the presentation, she played a video where she writes a longer application. There are some handy shortcuts along the way. The first line of a Perl program identifies where the interpreting program is located — typically something like! And then her next demo shows her committing to Git, pushing to GitHub, and making a pull request. Your co-workers will hear you coding — while your own microphone may pick up the conversations of your co-workers. One solution Shea points out is a Stenomask — a soundproof enclosure that straps over your mouth, with a small microphone inside to pick up your commands.

She tells the audience that her team has been supportive, giving her a flexible schedule and insisting she take care of herself. Asynchronous communication also helped, she said, and if a real-time conversation is necessary, a video call can be better than a long conversation on Slack.
