Ask HN: How close are we to 100% voice controlled UIs?

1 pointsby SSGNabout 4 years ago
I stopped typing my emails in 2019 and now fully use dictation.<p>I&#x27;m aware it&#x27;s not the most efficient system - but it makes e-mail a lot more fun &amp; enjoyable.<p>Since then, every once in a while - in an act of over-optimism, I switch on VoiceControl and attempt to get rid of my mouse and keyboard for all my other tasks.<p>And every time, it&#x27;s completely unusable (even e-mail)...<p>You would think that &quot;Brain to voice to computer&quot; would come before &quot;Brain to computer&quot; (Neuralink).<p>Certainly the next generations of ComputerUI&#x27;s would be voice controlled.<p>&quot;God gave us 10 styluses. Let&#x27;s not invent another.&quot; &#x2F; &quot;God game us a voice. Let&#x27;s not use anything else.&quot;

Seems like someone would just need to make all the correct shortcuts, or set of voice commands, I think the problem is reconfiguration and customization maybe?
