Is voice input technology going to replace manual input and thereby render my orbiTouch® obsolete?
No. Voice input has come a long way in its development. There are several research efforts under way to help determine how effective speech technology is in providing a solution to repetitive strain injury. Vocal cord stress as well as many other physical aspects of voice input are being investigated. Generally speaking (no pun intended), voice input is good at getting information into a word processing program or for general menu commands. Where voice input falls short is in the area of editing, programming, and accuracy.
