pompsander,

OT

The reason the voice recognition is so rare is not because of lack of processing power, but because it is impractical, and probably slower than typing or clicking a mouse.

Some people who are computer illiterate (a shrinking minority) are looking to voice recognition to save them from their stupidity. But if one is too stupid to operate a computer, how will this person know what to tell the computer? How will the computer understand? When someone who is not very literate with the computer asks me something about using a program, I sometimes have a hard time understanding from their words what it is they want to do, and what I have at my disposal is experience, huge library of heuristic algorithms in my brain, some clue about the user / his abilities, and rough idea what he is working on.
