It would be a different story though if you stuttered or suddenly got a bout of hiccups.

Yes but not that bad. I use speak to type when I'm too lazy to reach for my keyboard.

I laughed at this post, but can understand why you would yell at the computer. I sometimes yell at my phone when it says it doesn't understand if I have to say numbers for logging into banking online. Drives me nuts because I speak the numbers clearly and slowly too. Still doesn't understand me!

Hilarious and correct. Voice recognition was invented by a bunch of geeks sitting in a room drinking Mountain Dew and trying to figure how to have a laugh at our expense.
Makes you think twice when you say smart device. I think my computer is a bit autistic or just a smart ass.
