Extensive and prolonged use of keyboards can cause Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) conditions like Carpel Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). This is even more common among programmers, especially ones who have worked in the industry for some time [1]. As a solution people turned to voice coding (Coding with their voice). Research have been conducted on coding with voice [2] and generating HTML documents with voice [3]. Various products and tools exist for coding with voice but there are significant gaps in their functionality.

Currently available research and tools for voice coding have the following gaps.
Delivering an,
Intelligent, Interactive, Conversational
Voice based voice coding tool with great user experience that can be easily integrated into a programmer’s workflow.
Implementing an intelligent voice coding system which
Recognizes input issued in natural language
Allows for conversational interaction when coding
Mimics humanlike code manipulation
Provides optimum auditory and visual feedback
The system is implemented as a combination of a Visual Studio Code extension and a standalone server
