i wonder if there is a good software that will run commands with voice recognition?

eg. if i say "delete temporary folder" it will delete that folder.

if i say "find symfony folder" it will find folder named symfony.

im running mac.

Yeah... that's a good idea. –  Randolpho May 17 '10 at 15:45
"format see colon".... followed by the sound of an entire room full of hard disks spinning up –  skaffman May 17 '10 at 15:55
so are you actually planning on saying things like "see dee tilde slash" and "minus m minus u" into your microphone? seems like there's a lot of room for error here. –  nerdabilly May 17 '10 at 16:19
That's a good idea ONLY if there is not any "sh*t" or "atchoo" script that delete all files. –  kokbira Jul 14 '10 at 17:32

It depends on the OS. Mac OS X has had limited capabilities in this area for some time. Windows has recently added this (in Vista I think, and Windows 7).

Voice recognition cannot be used to run commands on computers. For an example of why this is true, please watch this video demonstrating Perl Scripting to Voice Recognition.

Your link does not match what you say, a script is not a command. He asked for words, not some weird syntax that indeed causes problems on voice recognition. Voice Recognition programming is perfectly possible, you could combine Voice Recognition with Workflow Development for example. –  Tom Wijsman Jul 14 '10 at 14:17
