> Beyond all the other issues, voice just isn't that convenient an interface. This is an excellent point, and not only related to voice. We often try to invent "smarter" ways to communicate, that are actually harder to use. Like having an app to control your toaster, which seems to be the next step, but simply having a physical device on it that takes 1 second to press is a lot faster, easier and feels more rewarding from the tactile feedback (I love pressing clicky buttons). Voice is the same, turning up the volume on your TV is easier by simply pressing a button on the remote (assuming you have it in reach) than saying a voice command. This is also true in human interactions, sometimes it's easier and faster to just do something by yourself than having to ask someone to do that thing for you. Also, voice commands have to be perfect in the same way physical buttons are, whenever you press them the result is always the same. It's hard to keep using an unreliable input method, that has only 60% chances of doing what you expect.
