Launch HN: Aqua Voice (YC W24) – Voice-driven text editor
What are your opinions on https://www.cursorless.org/ ?
Are you targeting developers?
My understanding was people who are serious about developing via voice use it pretty exclusively.
Like, yeah you need to learn commands, but "are often not worth it" feels like brushing a pretty massive offering under the rug.
Is learning vi / emacs commands not worth it (or shortcuts in another IDE?)
Is there a middle ground?

Hands-Free Coding (2020)
I would highly recommend checking out https://www.cursorless.org/, an editor for voice built on Talon (what’s being used here by Josh) and a VSCode extension. If for nothing else than to watch the dev live code with it.

Nearly 40% of software engineers will only work remotely
Yep. So I've been working for about fifteen years, had it from the start, but it just keep on getting worse. So now have migrated to a no keyboard solution, and am working on a no mouse solution.
My setup, software:
- talon (https://talonvoice.com/), basing my configuration on the standard repo (https://github.com/knausj85/knausj_talon/), with some minor modifications. This is how I navigate my whole computer, and runs the voice recognition and eye tracking. This is how I'm typing this right now. There are also a bunch of other little system changes that you need to make (eg, on macOS, disable double space to type a period), which is documented by the community with varying levels of success.
- cursorless (https://www.cursorless.org/), and then vscode. Before this I used Sublime Text for years and years, but cursorless is too good for coding. I know there are some projects on going to port it to different editors, but I haven't massively looked into it.
- vimium extension for web browsing (works in both chrome and firefox). This makes things like clicking links easier with your voice, without having too use an eye tracker all the time.
And then hardware:
- DPA 4488 microphone -> DAD6001 microdot-XLR converter -> Shure X2U USB XLR interface. ~£800. It's a very expensive microphone, but it's what the developer of talon uses (same brand anyway), and since I'm using this for work I want to remove every obstacle to having my voice recognised correctly and quickly
- Tobii Eye Tracker 5. ~£250. This is basically the only game in town. It works well enough but needs a lot of light. It also needs to be physically mounted to a monitor. In theory this means I don't need to use a mouse, but because I have a 34" ultrawide it doesn't work well on the edges, so I have a specific window size and location configured (say "layout mouse") which I could move apps into if I need to.
- At some point soon I want to replace the X2U with something higher quality and more permanent on my desk. Soon!

Numen: Voice Control for Handsfree Computing
It's worth mentioning Talon[0] here, which is a system for offline voice control as well, with great python-based scripting.
Using your computer or programming with it works like a charm, with some interesting and impressive projects like Cursorless[1] coming out as well, based on it.

Disability accessibility tools for Linux such as eyetrackers and voice commands?
I'm not familiar with Talon so I don't know if this is a suitable suggestion but nerd-dictation seemed to have been well received here when it was last promoted and it looks like it's still in active development.

Voice Control was supposed to be the Future. Is Linux lagging behind?
TBF Microsoft dropped IE, windows phone... that is not uncommon. But the OP is right, maybe not much for voice control but for dictation certainly. The FLOSS community is always far behind and thus always struggle with new technologies. We should be prepared. Since you've mentioned small open source project here's a demo of NerdDitaction. FYI Linux do have mobile devices developing.

I've made voice input for Linux that I use instead of a keyboard and mouse
Yeah you get me. I did have RSI which was amplified by my other issue, but it was that issue that progressed and why can't type now, not RSI. I'd be interested in hearing about using numen in combination with typing, but it's likely not ideal yet. Maybe just using speech to text for some things could help? It's not my project but there's: https://github.com/ideasman42/nerd-dictation that uses the same speech recognition as numen.
