# Controlling Emacs by voice using Emacslisten
Erik Präntare - Pronunciation: Erik Prenn-tah-reh, <https://emacslisten.org> and <https://pranta.re>, <mailto:erik@prantare.xyz>

After suffering from repetitive strain injury, I started using speech
recognition software to do my computing. To give me an environment I
could mold to my needs, I also started using Emacs.
The software integration for voice recognition in Emacs was clunky to
use, so I started developing packages to improve this. This has
culminated in Emacslisten, an environment for driving Emacs by voice.
Emacslisten includes macros for defining spoken command grammars in
Elisp, along with a predefined command grammar for navigating Emacs
and editing text. Emacslisten also provides a graphical overlay for
referring to different parts of the buffer.
About the speaker:
My name is Erik Präntare. I am currently pursuing a PhD in static
program analysis. Emacs is what has allowed me to keep working with
computers even after my injury.
