I'm holding out for direct neural input.

Seriously, I'm in the "voice control is of limited value" group. The only time I can think of when I've ever wished for it is while driving -- I'd like to be able to select music or podcasts using voice control. (It would be especially useful during pledge drive weeks on our local NPR station...)

Then again, I type about 60wpm without looking at the keyboard. My kids want dictation software so they won't have to learn to type (or spell, they think).
