OP here. Great comments and ideas, all. A few notes: * Talon is pretty great * I think the market for text to speech and voice control is huge, and maybe Dragon/Nuance rules it because of their patents, but oh, does it suck. Like being stuck on Windows 95 or something. * Voice Recognition is in fact currently good enough to get real work done efficiently * Serious RSI can't be fixed with ergonomics or better devices * If there were a modern alternative to Dragon, it would solve a chunk of the problem

It's true that computer control currently requires a lot of customization, but I see no practical reason why we can't at least make simple commands fast and accurate, i.e., 'create new html document in VS Code'.
