Thank you for the link, Keith! I certainly missed that one. I'm not surprised the announcement received very mixed reviews here on OGR Forum. 
I did not comment over there to reopen a can of worms. I can see it has value to anyone who wants to embrace it, young or old. It you don't want to use the feature, you don't have to.

Thank you, Marty. What you said makes sense indeed. It is the app that is communicating with the engine, whether the app takes it's instructions from the touch screen or the mic and voice recognition will be irrelevant to the engine. Referring to the previous topic Keith linked, it doesn't add to the cost of the engine like some would think. I recall when you demonstrated the then new LCS over at Patrick H's house a few years ago. I think a lot of folks are now using it who thought they never would back then.
