Offhand I'm going to say that the best use for voice recognition is for typing, so you don't have to use a game pad to input text. That's from a practical use standpoint anyway.

Unfortunately, voice recognition doesn't always work the way it's supposed to. I couldn't imagine using Siri by typing in inquiries; I just wouldn't do it as that would be a Google search. But it goes without saying that Siri doesn't always work.

honestly, i would think the best and most practical way to type would be if sony made an app that connects your phone via bluetooth and you just type using your phones screen.

I think it would be more likely for SCE to add text input via the PS Vita than by some iOS or Android app for obvious reasons.

That said, my iPhone is synced to my PS4, but to be honest, I'm not really getting a whole lot out of that added bit of functionality. I can check my trophies, check status of friends and a few other things that I don't really need to do. Okay, so I can buy stuff on the PSN Store through my phone and then have it installed when I get home which is kind of cool, but the app still isn't exactly earthshattering. Adding text input probably wouldn't make me use the app any more than I already do (which is to say almost never since I installed it).

Touch panel virtual keyboard is better than gamepad text input by far, but still not as easy as a keyboard (which is pretty inconvenient unless you have a PS4/desk/keyboard set up) but if we ever hit a day when voice input works like it does in science fiction, then I'm all for it.
