This study illustrates the viability of a speech-recognition program for daily work in a programmer's life. It closes itself in a period of the user's lifetime, meaning that he will use it in case of being unable to type for any reason or because of suffering from RSI. The results show the pros and cons, being the machine's errors in its job to recognize the programmer's voice vs. the time it takes the user to type. This, exhibits the need of the machine's voice recognition accuracy in order to interpret the commands rapidly to make it faster and more effective than typing. When computer science reach the required level of precision around this program, the user's mistrust in the machine's VR will not obstruct their normal pace programming; thus, it'll surpass the effectiveness of using the keyboard.
