Sorry for that stupid comment, but i can't resist wondering how
to spell things like (bad code ;-) )

That said, I'd take a look at "normal" speech recognition software
like dragon dictate and others.

I'm an Eclipse user and just did a quick search in the Help system for
"voice". I found this blurb, which suggests you should have no problem if
the person who needs this capability is running on Windows:

Accessibility features in Eclipse
Accessibility features help people with a physical disability, such as
restricted mobility or limited vision, or those with special needs to use
software products successfully. These are the major accessibility features
in Eclipse:

 a.. Eclipse uses Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA) APIs to render user
interface elements accessible to assistive technology.
 b.. You can operate all features using the keyboard instead of the mouse.
See the related task.
 c.. You can use screen-reader software such as Freedom Scientific's JAWS
TM and a digital speech synthesizer to hear what is displayed on the screen.
You can also use voice recognition software, such as IBM ViaVoice TM to
enter data and to navigate the user interface.
 d.. You can magnify what is displayed on your screen in the graphical
views.
 e.. Any fonts or colors defined by Eclipse can be set using the Window >
Preferences dialog. See the related link.
Note: The Accessibility features mentioned in this document apply to the
Windows operating system.

I'm not sure if you will get any comparable capabilities from Eclipse for
OSes other than Windows! It might be best to ask about that at the Eclipse
forums. (You need to subscribe at http://eclipse.org so that you can get the
secret user id and password for the news server but it's quick and it's
free.)

It's very possible other IDEs will have similar accessibility features but
you'd probably need to check each one out separately.

There was a research project on a speech enabled eclipse called
SpeechClipse, but nothing has happened with it for a few years:

And in my spare time I have been trying to work on something similar for
Eclipse on Windows, but unfortunately I just haven't had much in the way
of spare time.

To answer Andreas comment, I would say that you don't want to view
speech recognition as a replacement for typing, but more as a
replacement for moving your hands off the keyboard to use the mouse to
invoke a menu item. If you view the demo video on the SpeechClipse site
you might be able to see how speech recognition can assist you in code
development.
