Voice search is coming to Chrome for PCs. At a media event today in San Francisco, Google announced that it's bringing speech recognition to desktop and laptop versions of its Web browser.
Very useful.I can think of someone who might use this.

Been using this for about a year on my phone. I say "using" it, unless you put on a silly American accent it rarely works successfully.

Re: Google Adds Voice Search to Chrome Browser

There is a lot of Accessibility work going on in Linux at the moment, we have had ORCA screen reader for some time together with keystroke navigation and Debian Testing now has a speech option available during installation.
Anything which makes computing more accessible for people with disabilities has got to be a good thing in this day and age.
