Programming Language Specific Modes

For each programming language that you use, you should create a mode for that language. For all of the syntax that you use in a language, you should consider whether normal speech recognition, the commands above, or custom commands can be used. You can activate and deactivate these modes as needed.

The Utterly Voice default settings includes a "web code" mode that is used to edit HTML. This website was created using this mode. There is also a "go" mode that is used to edit Go code. This application was created using this mode. You can use these modes as examples for other languages.

Editor Mode

The Utterly Voice default settings includes "emacs editor" and "emacs shell" modes for the Emacs text editor. If you do not use this editor, you can use these mode files as an example to create your own editor-specific mode.
