Am I the only one that thinks voice interfaces are a scourge on technology? Leave them to science fiction. It's already bad enough with people walking around with their bluetooth headsets chatting away looking literally insane. But call me a luddite.
- nnnnni 12y agoI use voice control for one thing: to send text messages while driving. It's a lot safer to say "text bob i will be there in fifteen minutes" then "send" than to try to type while driving. It's also (understandably) illegal to type the messages while driving in many areas!
- VLM 12y agoIt's telling that I find it less frustrating to find a stop sign or parking lot, than to suffer thru using speech. Error rate is too high. Getting angry while driving is no fun. Also I can call someone with one button press on my car. Much less distracting, and much faster, than trying to text/email.
- neumann 12y agoAgreed - I have yet to successfully send a text through voice commands. Or navigate. And I quickly realised it was dangerous to try, because I would inevitably have to look down to see what the phone is actually doing.
