with your mouth full and hands greasy, i guess voice control would be at
least as interesting as touch screen!
when i think about it, it might make lots of sense to have some kind of a
voice recognition system that wouldn't even try to recognize any words, but
would react to various grunts and growls. it might be a nice complement to a
keyboard based user interface! like, growl softly to save the file while
you're typing. it might have say 3 different recognized volume levels, and
the action for each would be user-defined. so you could make windows to shut
down if you shout at it really loudly.
