just out of curiosity, what linrary are you using?

I'm currently designing a mind controlled text editor and one glaring issue I've found with existing solutions is that people are just shoe horning mind control into a paradigm that isn't at all built to support it, namely character-based editors when in fact these systems should be built off of the line-editing paradigm.

It's much faster to think 'change bracket to brace' than it is to try to eyeball the position of the character, then need to think adjust your cursor.

I'm currently designing a voice controlled shitposter and one glaring issue I've found with existing solutions is that people are just shoe horning voice control into a paradigm that isn't at all built to support it, namely character-based shitposters when in fact these systems should be built off of the pitch-based paradigm.

>It's much faster to say 'R' followed by many higher pitch characters than it is to try to eyeball the position of the E on a keyboard, then need to hold it down for a significant sum of time.

The most glaring of issues is that everyone wants to make a purely voice-controlled UI. Don't do that. Make something where voice inputs work with keyboard inputs. Start with something like vi, which has lots of different kinds of inputs (123dd <- dd is the command, 123 alters it to delete 123 lines instead of just one; d/;<RET> <- d is a partial command, /; finishes it to have it delete everything up the next ; ) and make voice an additional source of inputs.

key: /

voice: apple

result: you search for an apple

key: V

voice: block

key: d

result: you delete the language-appropriate block enclosing the cursor

instead of making a inferior voice-only UI, enhance an existing UI with voice

Some faggot rigged a voice recognition to vim, it was pretty good, but also retarded.

>adjust my cursor

using vim that's no problem at all.

Voice is retarded and only useful if you don't want to use your hands or can't use them.

Anyway, the editor matters the most. If your editor cannot macro cursor movement in a generalistic way then you talking to it like a fag doesn't change nothing.

ed is the solution. for real. it's how you edit a document you aren't looking at. if you want to hear it, cat. if you want to modify it, ed. voice is for blind command lines, not tuis.

It really depends on why you need voice control tbh.

Emacs. Literally fucking Emacs. I'm literally using Emacs right now to edit this post via exam, surf-exwm, and exam-edit. Enacts sucks in a lot of places, but the one part of it that doesn't suck is that every buffer is consummately interconnected, thus why Emacs still has the greatest, most thorough audio desktop in the world.

You're not wrong, I wouldn't be building this if I didn't have carpal tunnel syndrome.

>Anyway, the editor matters the most. If your editor cannot macro cursor movement in a generalistic way then you talking to it like a fag doesn't change nothing.

I'm more than happy to hear your suggestion for a generalistic method that isn't cumbersome and slow.

I'm actually planning to use ed for my MVP

The typos are because I transcribed that post to my phone because my router just died, and autocorrect is retarded, but just ask on /emacs/.

Wot

Personally, I think it would be a better idea to implement eye tracking software. There are many times where I'm editing a file at a certain point, and then want to go to another arbitrary point. To get there I would either have to do a combination of cursor movements, search for the text, or use something like avy-jump. But imagine if I could jump to the location that I wanted, just by looking at it and pressing a key sequence to confirm the jump. That would be pretty cool.

Is this the secret hideout where the kikes devise their schemes for more botnet?

>line-editing paradigm

Sure if you're building a general purpose editor orchestrated by voice. If this is for programming, you'll get much better results by using voice controlled automation on top of an existing IDE, so you can leverage built-in refactoring methods, etc..
