I agree with the speech recognition thing being a fad. I am just at the moment running a GMS modelling school where every student is using a laptop for almost all the work. Can you image the chaos if 10 people were constantly talking at their computers? Even in star trek (that paragon of ironically accurate scientific futures) voice recognition is mainly reserved for posing queries rather than taking actions. The neural (and silent) interface sounds great. The voice interface is dumb and should be reserved for those who are disabled and cannot use a keyboard. It has its uses, but it is not as a replacement for the keyboard.
My employer back in the 90s was very interested at that time with this fad. It's like the Holy Grail to some.
