Not until you teach a computer context. Until it can do "you know what I
mean" as well as a human, then speech recognition will be:

1) "The technology of tomorrow"....and tomorrow never comes

2) Used by people who can't use a keyboard

In any case, it's useless in a cube farm, or anyplace where you are trying
to simultaneously interact with a computer and a human at the same time.
