It's very simple for me to talk to my smart phone and ask it to do things for me. For example this moment I'm not typing what you see on your screen I'm talking to this software that converts my voice to text. This software I'm using Vlingo allows me to create articles very very fast.
As i talk the program converts my voice into text. A few changes on the computer and is ready to go!
Recently I came across siri, Apple's assistant for the iPhone 4s. I was amazed how this software can do so many things for people.
Not all people have the physical ability to type and use touchscreen mobile phones.
The need - rush for voice enabled mobile devices came when Apple inc released the new iPhone. I don't think that they are any people involved with smart phones that didn't watch the advertising of the new iPhone - application. Apple restricted siri on the 4s as a marketing strategy and as it seems it works.
Hackers already made it possible to download and install the app on older device enabling non 4s users to use features.
Very soon and don't be amazed we may see a legislation that forces the smart phone manufacturers to have voice control and natural voice conversation on their products this will not only make devices more friendly to the user but it will make devices more accessible to people with disabilities.
Imagine the digital world free from hardware and painfully small keyboards buttons or touch with just the control of the voice. Maybe not fully voice but a hybrid between the "classic" and the "new".
