This tool is for people who can't use their hands, of course.

For the average person, we're pretty close to being able to use voice instead of typing.

Throw in eye tracking and precise gestures (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QNiZfSsPc0) and the keyboard isn't necessary.

Instead of coming home from the office with Carpal Tunnel we'll be coming home with hoarse voices. Color me skeptical.

Some people will gladly take a hoarse voice. Ever see someone have to resort to using their nose?

There's also this http://voicecode.io/

I'm waiting for the windows version to be released, so I don't have any first hand experience. The videos look promising though.

I use Dragon and python extensions to supplement typing for now.
