Voice Recognition as a Co-Enabling Technology ?

In a few years, I see VRDs as a fundamental part of a wearable computer. The human interface will consist of a lightweight pair of glasses containing a microphone and earpieces. A low power wireless connection joins it to the CPU in the wearer's pocket. A second wireless link (60GHz?) joins the personal computer to a nearby micro-cellular site. Functionally, the person is on the net. She can send and receive email/vmail/fax/docs. The awareness of using a computer fades.

Besides the high-resolution, low power retinal display, a versatile voice interface is essential to this vision. The advent of cheap, fast digital signal processing (DSP) has enabled the current crop of soundcards with microphone inputs. In some cases, these have been used with voice interfaces to allow word processing with marginal accuracy.

These voice interfaces are not yet versatile or accurate enough to replace keyboards and mice. I suppose they will improve...but how much and how fast, and at what cost? Is anyone familiar with the state of the art and how fast it is advancing? What other interfaces will complement retinal diaplays?
