>Voice interface? Can't work. I would NOT want to shout my private notes into a team video call. The entire point of me writing them down is that they are meant for me, not for everyone. Heh, I had a weird nightmare about that. I was typing on my laptop at a cafe, and someone came up to me and said, "Neat, you're going real old-school. I like it!" [because everyone had moved to AI voice transcription] I was like, "But that's not a complete replacement, right? There are those times when you don't want to bother the people around you, or broadcast what you're writing." And then there was a big reveal that AI had mastered lip-reading, so even in those cases, people would put their lips up to a camera and mouth out what they wanted to write.

There are many times I really wished to use voice interface but in private. Some notes - both personal and professional - I feel I can voice better than type them out. Sometimes I can't type - it's actually a frequent occurrence when you have small kids. For all those scenarios, I wish for some kind of microphone/device that could read from subvocalizations or lip movement. In a similar fashion, many times I dreamed about contact lenses with screens built-in, because there are many times I'd like to pull up a screen and read or write something, but I can't, because it would be disturbing to people around me, or because the content is not for their eyes.

There's a similar issue with those automated phone interfaces that "helpfully" require you to speak what you want, because you have to restart every time a pet or child screams. In those cases, it's better to have "press 1 for <whatever>", but it would also be an improvement to have it only read from your lips, so you wouldn't have to worry about background noise.
