Well it's worse than all the alternatives, so... yes?


Not when you've got your hands tied up with messy dough or kids or your computer is across the room.

Or you're dictating an urgent message on your watch while you're out running without your phone.

Or, you know, you're physically impaired.


How many urgent messages do you need to dictate while you're running without your phone?

I'm actually surprised that the watch would work for that without the phone.

It wouldn't have network, so it works offline by itself and saves the urgent message until it regains a network connection?

I'm very thankful that I'm not physically impaired so I'm not forced to rely on the garbage that is the current state of voice commands.

I find it so infuriating to use that I won't do it, but you go for it. Perhaps your training data will improve it enough to eventually arrive at a usable state.
