Microsoft is testing the function of writing code with voice on GitHub

GitHub, owned by Microsoft, has started testing a new voice interaction feature for its Copilot software. It will allow programmers to code using only voice, just like you communicate with Google Assistant or Siri.

Here's What We Know

The "Hellom GitHub" feature will be available in the Copilot tool for $10 per month. Copilot uses artificial intelligence to suggest the next possible lines or parts of code. Copilot can even suggest complete methods and complex algorithms along with template code and help with unit testing. Now it will also support voice coding.

"With the power of your voice, we're excited to be able to bring the benefits of GitHub Copilot to even more developers, including developers who have difficulty typing with their hands," GitHub explains in today's blog post, "Hello, GitHub!" currently only reduces the need for a keyboard when coding in VS code, but we hope to expand its capabilities through further research and testing."

This feature will be especially useful for people with disabilities, so we hope to develop it in the future.
