I understand the point that a real voice service does only make sense when there is an ATC service (at least for the big airports and instrument flying) that can handle it. This ATC must be "maned" or "computered" somehow. Assuming we've got a program that can simulate an ATC it still must interface the users. Predefined text messages would be the easiest to start with - but they can also work when the pilots have a voice chat between each other and can also be used with text-to-speech so that everyone else hears it. Text messages have the big problem that when you are already missing a few hands during landing you would need an additional hand that selects the correct text. A voice message would be parallel... So the very far and big aim would be a speech recognition capable ATC... Looking a few paragraphs back you see an assumption. That is currently not true. And I know noone who trys to tackle that problem. That leaves two possibilities: take it or leave it. Take it doesn't cost anything and might bring some fun and attract someone who loves to write the full blown ATC simulatior. Or leave it that also doesn't cost anything - except having fun. If someone integrates it I'd love to try it.
