you can expect a person to ask if something is unclear. no speech recog system has done that yet. speech recog is orders of magnitude behind humans in accuracy. understanding is another thing entirely. i don't mean philosophy but the problem of even parsing a sentence. just look at implementations of automatic language translation to get a feeling for this problem. speech recog has a long way to go because AI has a long way to go. you don't get human-like machine interaction out of bare speech recog.
