Jury is still out on whether speech will be the modality of the future for high-bandwidth operation.

Jury is still out on whether speech will be the modality of the future for high-bandwidth operation. | I'm not 100% sold yet that speech is the modality of the future. I I do like BCIs. I do like wearables and gestural interfaces. I do like typing, but speech I think jury is still out for me for high bandwidth operation.
