If CW is dead....
 

.....why do the US Army Field Manuals provide instructions for setting up
SINGCARS-V radios in CW mode?

W2DNE:

So that no one confuses military radios with amateur hobby radios?

Because it's not dead, and never will be.
It will just get harder to find and train operatives.

because you have to have something to use when the aliens have invaded and
destroyed all the satellites and cities.

The reality is that the arguements will continue of code vs no code.

Few folks understand that a fair number of hams can send and receive Morse
faster than these folks can type. A surprising number of people cannot type
more than 30 or 40 words per minute; their skill is that they can point and
click with a mouse ;)

Likewise, a number of folks think that typing is outdated. It is, so long
as you only wish to copy and paste other's work and pass it off as your own.
Somehow, if one wishes to actually create an article, it is useful to be
able to type.

You should fully investigate "text-to-speech" and "speech-to-text"; typing
is indeed becoming as extinct as the dodo bird (and cw.)

Frankly, keyboards are probably only as prevalent as they are for much the
same reasons as cw--humans are creatures of habit, the newest generations
probably will kill the keyboard...

Hello, John

Well, I guess I've got to admit that I might be getting stumped.

How do I use speach to text to write programs in Visual Basic or C? Can the
program understand the difference between "to", "too", and "two"?

Don't worry as the China will probably do your work for you ;)

Jim:

It is only necessary to create the association between any spoken word and
the series of characters you wish to generate when that word is spoken,
into a library of such associations...

In other words, if I speak "the" and make the association to the
characters "t-h-e" the speech to text engine will always generate those
characters when I speak that specific word--I could just as easily
associate the spoken "the" with any other series of characters.

Now, while you and I might not go to that trouble if we are fast typists,
others who do not type will... those who are blind will... companies and
corps will (and especially those employing disabled workers.) I have seen
such libraries on the net for specific uses, such as programming, before.
You most likely can download one for the speech engine in question...

There are groups devoted to the blind who could easily supply you with
them, I am sure...

The way I figure it, as long as we know how to ask "Would you like
fries with that?" We've had all the job training we need these days! 8^(

For better or worse, I would hazard that 99 people out of 100 would not
even think of programming when they think of keyboards. But then, isn't
programming something they do in India?

Congrats on getting that new job!

Then the world has come to an end
Long live CW and it will.
