it might be intrusive to use in presence of others
In my experience, it essentially looks the same as voice actions, except with a much higher success rate. The least socially intrusive action is whatever lets me transition back to the conversation the soonest, and voice actions win in terms of speed for a lot of use cases. Also, if you absolutely have to turn to your phone with someone else around, it's kind of courteous to telegraph exactly what you're doing.
- vidarh 15y agoYou're ignoring pretty much all the situations that would stop me from wanting to use it: The vast majority of the time I use my phone for something other than conversations is spent in the presence of colleagues, family or commuting in situations where I would not be interacting with them, but where talking to my phone would potentially disturb them. Voice actions is not an alternative - I never use them for exactly this reason. The alternative is my phones touch interface. If I "had to" interact with my phone in the middle of a conversation, it might be different, but that's a fringe case I very rarely encounter.
