Can I ask why? I find voice interfaces basically useless. They're too awkward to use in public, too unreliable to use in general, and almost never quicker than just typing or mousing anyway.
I can see how it's great for accessibility (e.g. for blind people), but that's about it
- melling 8y ago“Too unreliable “ “Faster to type” You’re doing that thing where you take the current implementation that isn’t very good and ignore that it will greatly improve. For example, people say electric vehicles don’t work for them because they only go 300 miles on a charge with today’s battery technology. Anyway, at some point, someone will get it right then you’ll wonder how you lived without it.
