Isn't that voice encoding?

Speech coding actually (though a "vocoder" may be used as part of speech coding):

I agree. 'Voice coding' does not make any sense, no offense, even if it wasn't a technical term in a completely different discipline.

It should be 'voice-activated coding', VAC, or 'voice-activated programming' (VAP) or something.

A small nitpick when talking about voice programming is there’s a superset of “voice control”. When your hands are hurt you don’t just want to type in your editor and terminal, there’s chat programs, application switching, web browsing, and other tasks it would be nice to offload from your hands too.

So the clearest way to represent some of this may be to encode the meaning of “voice input/control capable of programming” in a title. We might need a new name for this kind of input to best represent it.

I think this is a bit nitpicky. I figured what it meant pretty immediately but even if I hadn't the actual article would have cleared it up quickly.
