I don't disagree that voice recognition seems over-rated in its current state; siri in particular seems to be getting much, much worse as time goes on.

voice recognition, when it works, is much faster than typing on non alpha keyboards.

Gotcha, I wasn't following the train of thought, I could definitely see that voice recognition could be better than typing out something using an onscreen keyboard and directional arrows on a remote. I was totally thinking of my own experience with siri on iPhone.
