PURPOSE: The paper presents the design and implementation of voice-based interface to support two types of application development activities (coding, and visual GUI design) by manually disabled programmers. METHOD: Prototype programs were implemented, and tests were performed for both proposed voice-based interface models. RESULTS: The interface design concepts, and the results and lessons learned of the usability studies are discussed. CONCLUSIONS: The usability studies indicated that the interface models were sound, although the voice recognition aspects left something to be desired.
