First of all, chatbots or a UX nightmare, but everybody ignores that, for some reason. Their dumbness is part of the problem, but not the biggest one. Typing full words or even sentences instead of just clicking a few buttons is just stupid. Even more so on mobile devices, where typing is a total pain and ought to be avoided at all costs.
Voice input is awkward and dumbness is even more exposed. Also when dealing with chatbot you might have kinda specific issues and terminology that voice recognition doesn't capture very well.
On top of that, chatbots usually end up being just glorified fulltext search, but often cramped into tiny window somewhere in the corner.
There's a lot that needs to change to make chatbots usable at least in some use cases.
