title: A voice-activated integrated development environment for manually disabled programmers.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The paper presents the design and implementation of voice-based interface to support two types of application development activities (coding, and visual GUI design) by manually disabled programmers.
  
  
  METHODS
  Prototype programs were implemented, and tests were performed for both proposed voice-based interface models.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The interface design concepts, and the results and lessons learned of the usability studies are discussed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The usability studies indicated that the interface models were sound, although the voice recognition aspects left something to be desired.
