<i>&quot;Do you think that you&#x27;re a typical user?&quot;</i><p>No, but I also know very few <i>typical users</i> that use voice controls extensively.<p><i>&quot;Do you think that MS&#x2F;AAPL&#x2F;GOOG doesn&#x27;t have voice recognition for other languages? Did you look it up at all?&quot;</i><p>Voice controls in Lithuanian (my mother tongue) on Android didn&#x27;t work until very recently (2015 Sep, according to Wiki) and it still works very poorly. If your primary language is not a mainstream one, you are out of luck. I&#x27;m sure it will get better, but it&#x27;s not among the reasons I don&#x27;t use it anyway (see below).<p><i>&quot;Do you think that MS&#x2F;AAPL&#x2F;GOOG will go out of its way to collect your user data in particular, when it can get millions or billions of people&#x27;s user data?&quot;</i><p>I&#x27;m very pro-privacy, but it&#x27;s not my main concern when talking about voice controls. The main drawback and reason why I hate it, is that <i>talking breaks concentration</i> and disrupts workflow. Another reason is that I don&#x27;t like people around hearing what I&#x27;m doing, I can imagine a lot of anecdotal situations regarding &quot;Computer, load PornHUB&quot; etc. Also, it annoys other people around -- imagine a shared, dormitory like flat where all people are using voice controls at once.
