Comment on The case against conversational interfaces « julian.digital

On the other hand with a keyboard I am reasonably sure I get problems such as network filesystems being unable to reach the server or broken hard drives more often than having to worry about mistyping a command I commonly use. Granted, part of that is thanks to tab completion but that is part of the issue with voice input, no easy way to correct what it got wrong.

In English? Do you have an accent? Dragon is one of the better ones and it seems with many accents it does remarkably well. Google seems to have one of the worst I’ve come across.

Both in English and my native German. I probably do have an accent in English but that is difficult to judge myself. Certainly nothing that prevents other people from understanding me though.
