Abstract
Programming is one of the activities that need talent and
persistence. Physically challenged people avoid programming
jobs and related academic degrees due to lack of tools that
accommodate their disabilities. Most people think to program for
the physically challenged. Our approach is different, we provide
tools to make the physically challenged write computer programs
in an easy and affordable way.
In this paper, we introduce Proviac (Programming Via Voice)
which is a software that helps physically challenged programmers
to write their programs in a friendly way. Proviac currently
supports C# but it could be extended to include other
programming languages. Proviac can be considered a step towards
providing IDEs tailored for physically challenged programmers.
