Voice recognition is awesome for movies and TV because they turn it into dialog. In practice though it’s a slow error prone way to interact with things.

"Slow error prone way to interact..." - got me to thinking about some movies where voice commands are misinterpreted. Jim Carey in "The Mask" asking his dog to "Get the keys" so he can unlock the jail cell door; Milo the dog retrieves the cheese from the guard's desk. Then there is the recent movie "Automata" where robots build a superior robot, and the human asks why it doesn't talk (in a human manner), and the older robots say it won't need to (presumably because humans are inferior and will go extinct). There's a new generation of kids who prefer to interact without speaking.
