Speak2Code: A Multi-Utility Program based on Speech Recognition that Allows you to Code Through Speech Commands

Abstract

Voice recognition has gained prominence and extensive use with the rise of Artificial Intelligence and that of the intelligent assistants such as Amazon's Alexa, Apple’s Siri and Microsoft's Cortana. Voice recognition systems enable Coders to interact with IDEs, Coding platforms, and tools related to Programming platforms simply by speaking to it. It is also extremely useful for hands free requests, reminders and other simple tasks. In this paper, the researcher has developed a program that simply elevates the use of speech commands to Code efficiently in the Integrated Development Environment and also to handle other related computer activities through the use of a Chat-Bot interface. The researcher has used Microsoft’s Speech Engine for Speech Recognition and Synthesis. This Research can prove immensely beneficial for ‘Visually Impaired Developers’ in the field of Computer Programming by helping them to code and accomplish huge coding possibilities, and challenges before them. This research would prove beneficial with a viewpoint of the concept also called as ‘Distant-Coding’ or ‘Remote-Coding’ in which the programmer can code from a remote place without been present in actual at the Company.
