Perhaps. But it is folly to talk about voice based interfaces without diving into the future, where advanced AI will enable it to be conversational rather than command based.
An example of this might be a system administrator's tool which communicates with the sys admins by voice. Repetitive but not identical actions are tough to model, and sys admins often spend a lot of their time at the command line. So such a system could be like a junior sys admin sitting at the next cube. Bark a few orders, get a few updates, be shown a few processes. This would be a very good use of voice-based interaction. But it is very far off, and could easily be supplanted before then. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
