This is pretty nice :)

My first thought was that our eyes and hands do all the work; our mouth and ears are untapped resources in the quest to become true 100x engineers ;)

All joking aside, I am interested in how well this might work outside of a11y use-cases. Speaking is just so natural. It doesn't have to be used exclusively but I do want to find out if there are cases where it's just nicer to say a command during coding than remembering all kinds of keyboard shortcuts. I always wonder if a more hybrid approach of using touch, speaking and typing for various situations could feel better than keyboard all the way.

I've often imagined a voice-command layer for an OS or apps that doesn't steal focus. So, you could be working in a particular app, and be giving instructions by voice to prepare other parts of your workflow.

A voice layer on an iPad could make it a better productivity device.

As long as we're limited to reading western/English we're underutilizing our eyes. Try coding with Emoji & Pinyin using http://github.com/elasticdotventures/_b00t_

Our upper primate brains are actually MUCH better at pattern matching than reading!

Would be nice to use for opening files if that could be configured to work in a suitable fashion.

hybrid approach should really be handy.

Don't think only voice coding for enabled, becoming standard anytime soon.
