Suggestion

Hi,

Now that touch screens work, is it possible that Microsoft design
applications which respond to voice rather than using the mouse? Imagine
Windows and Office Suite responding to oral commands !

There are already many programs available which provide voice
recognition and conversion into typing, cursor and mouse pointer
movement. My own close second hand experience is with Dragon Naturally
Speaking, which my wife uses. It's not as simple as you hope it would
be.

As for widespread voice input, life in cubicles is already pretty
horrible having to ignore coworkers phone conversations. Voice input
would be a quantum level worse. Definitely functionality for home
offices only!

Since voice command and dictation has been around for YEARS, and was
even part of Office 2003 perhaps you could share what TOUCH screen have
to do with AUDIO input?!?!?!?
