Of the examples Dustin offers here, the ones that have voice replacing typing make the most sense:
- When I’m inputting my home address in a web browser (on mobile or desktop), I should be able to tap the “State” dropdown and just say “California” and it have it select that option for me.
- When I highlight the browser address bar, I should be able to just say “The Economist” and have it automatically find the address in my favorites and go there.
...
- When I click the “To” field in a mail app or in Gmail, I should be able to just say a person’s name and have it fill in automatically (and maybe show me a dropdown to select which email address to send to).
Dustin's examples where the voice recognition replace a series of swipes and or taps seem, to me, a bit frivolous:
- When I open to the home screen on my phone, I should be able to just say “Instagram” and have that app open.
- On iOS, when I get a notification that covers the top of the screen, I should be able to just say “ignore” and have the notification instantly disappear.
I know exactly where Instagram is on my phone. It's a swipe and a tap. And to ignore a notification on iOS, all one has to do is swipe up on it.
The incremental time spent vs voice control seems negligible, and not something I'd fret about as a user nor a UX designer.
