用 Talon 以语音写作和编程
Writing and coding by voice with Talon
导读
这篇介绍用 Talon 通过语音写作和写代码，并讨论语音交互如何改变命令记忆、可发现性与工具切换。对写作者来说，它不只是效率工具，也提醒我们：命令命名和界面结构会直接影响写作与编程流程的顺畅程度。
可以直接用的写作要点
- 01
用自然语言动词短语命名命令（如“rename variable”），比记“command-alt-r”这类任意快捷键更易记。
- 02
尽量让同一套语音命令跨编辑器通用，降低尝试新工具的摩擦。
- 03
把应用看作一组可调用的动作/API，优先使用命令面板或自动补全来发现和触发操作。
- 04
选择语音编程工具时留意其开源状态、平台支持和维护活跃度，避免投入废弃项目。

语音命令用自然语言命名更易记且可跨应用复用，应用应暴露清晰的动作接口。
过去几年我几乎全靠 Talon（以及此前的 VoiceCode）操作电脑；Talon+Dragon 是目前顶尖且进步很快的方案。语音控制改变了我对界面的理解。与键鼠相比，语音在任一时刻可调用的命令多得多：鼠标要为命令牺牲屏幕空间，快捷键要记往往随意的组合。语音仍有可发现性和记忆问题，但“rename variable”比“command-alt-r / command-shift-r”好记，而且可跨编辑器复用，降低换编辑器的摩擦。我还把应用看作一组（常定义不佳的）API，输入是键鼠事件；希望应用更清晰地暴露动作，命令面板/自动补全虽笨拙但可用（Atom、Jupyter 有），更直接的方式会更好。

I use talon (and previously voicecode) for nearly all interactions with my computer for the past few years. Talon+dragon is definitely the state of the art and is quickly improving. Controlling the computer by voice has completely changed my understanding of user interfaces. One difference between voice vs keyboard/mouse is that the number of 'commands' that can be in scope at any moment is much much larger. With a mouse you must sacrafice screen space for each command, for keyboard shortcuts the user must memorize often somewhat arbitrary key combinations for every new app/command. With voice, there are still descoverability and some memorization issues, but they feel a lot different. I can remember the command "rename variable" much more easily than "command-alt-r", or was it "command-shift-r"? These commands can also be common across editors, reducing the friction of trying different editors. One other observation is how I now think of apps more as (often poorly defined) sets of APIs whose inputs are keyboard/mouse events. I really wish more apps had a cleaner method of exposing this API. Some apps have a command pallet or something similar where a keyboard shortcut brings up a auto completed list of all possible actions available, which is still clumsy, but workable. Atom and jupyter notebooks both have this. Something more direct would be very nice.
语音编程领域多失败项目，Talon 的眼动追踪等新交互值得关注；可参考领域综述寻找替代方案。
Talon 看起来非常有前景，尤其是通过眼动追踪实现的缩放鼠标。总体而言，语音编程领域是一片废弃项目的墓地。我去年写过一篇领域概览，感兴趣可看替代方案。

Talon is looking extremely promising, with its zoom mouse that works via gaze-tracking. Generally coding by voice is a graveyard of abandoned projects. I wrote an overview of the field last year, if anyone's interested in alternatives: https://medium.com/bambuu/state-of-voice-coding-2017-3d2ff41c5015
工具选型要留意开源与平台支持，Caster、Dragonfly、Aenea 是可考虑的替代组合。
Talon 有前景，但核心并非开源，而且 Nuance 已放弃 Dragon Naturally Speaking 在 OSX 上的支持。Caster 项目看起来仍更新，Dragonfly 也是，还有一个积极整合其他语音识别引擎的新分支。配合 Aenea，我可以在 Linux 上口述代码。

Talon is promising but is not open source at its core nor does Nuance has drop support for Dragon Naturally Speaking on OSX. Caster project seems up-to-date and Dragonfly as well with a new fork that's actively integrating other speech recognition engines. Combined with Aenea I can dictate code on Linux
