Point 2: people with carpal-tunnel syndrome! And people who cannot touch-type. 3. We do not all work in rooms with many people in them. So how about executives who do not touch-type and have single-person offices? Of course, these objections only apply to using voice recognition instead of typing on your office computer. There are many other applications of voice recognition. A medical transcriber, working in a nice quiet space, is one example (see eScription). And then there are cars and cell phones and such.
