I think the real reason is, how will you want to interact with the system. For eg if you have to check the balance in your account maintainied in a spreadsheet what will be your sequence of voice commands: 1. Start 2. Programs 3. Windows Explorer 4. My Documents 5. Open Account.xls 6. Select Column D 7. Sum to Cell D6 8. Speak D6 9. Close 10. Exit
or 1. Hey computer can you tell me the balance in my account. If its the first case we are about 40% on our way to reaching there but if its the second scenario we havent even started yet. To me its a question of mental model vs implementation model with an undefined designer model as of now. I am not sure if we will be able to reach the current mental model anytime soon so as designers its imperative that a designer model is first brought forward that can bridge the gap between the mental and implementation model within the limitations of currently available technology and business needs. My 2 cents.
