Emacs follows his voice well. I wish we could have that sooner in
Emacs to program by talking. So that is already available.

Are you sure it is proprietary voice recognition underlying?

By using voice2json as free software, we may teach Emacs to code by
voice. And I do not mean that that training is something difficult,
there are already many languages and people who natively speak
supported language will be comforted the most.

He speaks of dragonfly and dictation, it seems that software is free:

dictation-toolbox:
https://github.com/dictation-toolbox

dictation-toolbox/Caster: Dragonfly-Based Voice Programming and Accessibility Toolkit:
https://github.com/dictation-toolbox/Caster

Then he says "Emacs is supported". So I wish to use that. I hope it is
not too difficult to install.

I only heard of it, not that I use them.

Mouse Tracking (GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual):
https://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Mouse-Tracking.html

Motion Events (GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual):
https://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Motion-Events.html

What would be useful in Emacs is dragging left or right with mouse, or
touchpad, to move buffer left or right, swiping it away.

Then it would be possible to control Emacs by using simply eyes:

Projects/MouseTrap - GNOME Wiki!:

Then pointing gestures:

And then there are hand gesture controls.
