Agreed.I wouldn't want to try using it at the Karaoke bar I go to but most
other places it works pretty well.

Not sure what you mean there charlse, I've found siri surprisingly accurate
at picking up my voice in most situations, even on busses and trains.
Obviously if your somewhere very crowded like a noisey pub or somewhere with
lots of people talking at once it won't work as well, but the majority of
the time I've found it ar more useful as I said.
All the best,
Dark.

Until a way of filtering out other noise than your specific voice is
found, voice dictation won't become the main input method.

Hi Dark,
Yes, Android has its own voice dictation. Pretty much all the major
operating systems now have voice dictation in some form or another. I
fully see that becoming the way of the future for most mobile devices
since Android, iOS, and Windows devices have it, and I'm pretty sure
the technology can and will improve over time.
As far as your point about consoles I'm in full agreement. I just
don't ever see that happening no matter how many blind users may like
to believe otherwise. It isn't economical for companies to add the
proper accessibility, and like it or not money is usually ultimately
the deciding factor when it comes to accessibility. The people who
will endeavor to create accessible games won't be the big mainstream
companies but indie developers and hobbyists.

Hi Tom.
You might be correct on keyboards, however also bare in mind that at
least
on Ios, you can use Siri to dictate (I think there is a similar function
on
Android but I'm not sure).
I tend to dictate myself sinse it is much faster and easier than using
the
on screen keyboard, even though Voiceover does handle the on screen
keyboard
quite well.
Sinse Siri at least has also got to the point where you can for example
open
aps, write and read messages, and check e-mails all by voice commands I
can
see that sort of interface becoming more common in the future, which
will be
a help for visually impared people, even if there are times when you
don't
want to speak to your computer, like when your in a meeting or (like
now),
when I have a severe throat infection.
Bad news of course for people who are deaf and blind, but as you said,
disabled consumers never get thought of anyway.
I personally don't see console access as being a thing that will ever
happen
sinse even if there was say voice control, most information will
continue to
be graphical simply because most people use their eyeballs for most
things,
and it will always take a degree of wangling to represent even the
barely
necessary graphical information to a visually impared person, let alone
the
huge graphical 3D monstrosities most game companies aim for.
As I've said before, I see independent developers who create audio games
as
much for the same people who still enjoy audio dramas as for visually
impared people as the major future of where games are going, and what
with
things like Somethinelse that seems to be happening more and more.
All the best,
Dark.
