I am highly suspicious of new tech coming in the guise of 'accessibility'. As someone goin blind, a lot of things toted as good for me are cumbersome and bad.
Maybe this will be different, and that'd be neat. Though I just think more expressions of code is neat. I also know the accessibility you're talkin about isn't for blindness.
That being said I can talk about code decently well, but if you've never heard code come out of text-to-speech, well, it's painful.
I bring up the text-to-speech because if speech is input, it would make sense for speech to also be the output. Selfishly, getting a lot of developers to spend time coding through voice might end up with some novel and well thought out solutions.
For sight problems you are correct. But voice input is valuable by itself. I had chronic tendonitis in my wrists a few years ago. I looked into voice coding and it was difficult to set up. Fortunately for me I've been able to adapt with a vertical mouse and split keyboard.
I do think there will be big advancements in the text-to-speech realm. I've noticed some ML projects imitating voices surprisingly well and while it's not quite there yet - it's already a bit less grating than it was even a few years ago.
