Imho, the issue with speech technology is that it is beeing developed by companies that wants to abuse your home (device,...). There is just no way I will let google device that listens my conversations let at my home (let me be faster - no, my phone doesnt listen, and yes I am sure, its maker wouldnt recognize it any more). Or amazon. Or facebook. Sure speech technology could be usefull but not from those companies. On the other side, there is just no usable way found by anyone else, how to monetize the technology (i.e. except for spying on people). I think that this is THE problem of speech recognition.
