How do you edit HTML using voice dictation?

Hi IanEye:

I have spastic Cerebral Palsy, so I just use voice dictation to speed things up a few hundred percent, and edit the code manually. However, all dictation packages offer the ability to set up macros and it is possible [especially for the BB code in this board uses] to set up basic commands, bold, underline, italic etc. that affect text. It's a twofold trick:

First, you think ahead placing the appropriate opening and closing tags in the text as you go using the macros.
Second, having a database of your favorite URLs and boilerplate is indispensable. You become the master of copy and paste.

The other thing I do is create most of the message (like this one) and in dictation friendly editor or word processor. Normally the online editors are a little flaky because of the heavy scripting going on to make things user-friendly, and of course it varies with each browser.

Large-scale coding cannot reliably be done in any voice dictation package I have found. For that, the voice dictation is only used for paragraphs or larger amounts of text. It's slow, but I do input the scripts etc. by hand. Occasionally I will use a WYSIWYG editor but really do prefer getting down into the code. That way the result is efficient, smaller, and if it blows up, you don't spend hours if not days trying to clean up redundant and often bad code.

Thanks Justdrew

Just getting the lay of the land here. But I must say the the concepts and trains of thought look right up my alley.
