I have been using delphi since 1998. In the last few years I have developed essential tremor in my right hand that is beginning to really slow down my typing. I'm curious if anyone has used speech recognition software to program in delphi. I can see my condition worsening over time (I still have no problem with one hand thankfully).

Just curious if anyone has tried this with delphi?

Thanks!

Whilst I've never tried it with Delphi I have tried speech recognition several times - the last occasion was about 5 years ago when I had a frozen shoulder and I was underwhelmed by the results. I achieved less than 50% recognition on homophones and don't even talk about trying to get it to do cursor commands. I used Dragon Naturally Speaking and spent a long time training it. Five years is a long time in IT so things may have improved remarkably since then. One thing I would say is that if you have a go buy the best noise canceling micophone you can afford.

Sorry to hear about your condition.  Unfortunately, I haven't tried anything to that effect yet, but I would imagine that voice recognition software would definitely be something that would be do-able, if my phone is any indication of the usability of it.
