HI Albert,
that's a great question, we'll just have to see, but people are using siri.
I have a friend who has very bad neuropathy, and he uses Siri for 
dictation, and it's changed his life. He thought he would have to give 
up his computer, but now, he doesn't!
People are using the amazon echo and the echo dot, and people are using 
Cortana, and also whatever the google voice recognition is called. There 
are blind folks who are using jaws with j-say and dragon together, and 
they're getting complete control over their computers that way.
It'll be an interesting time, and like all of you, I'll be following it 
closely.
Harry
