I would absolutely love a system like this. Like having a pet that you teach to sit. It’s so rewarding when they get it right. :)
If people enjoyed this kind of interaction with their computer, it would become common place and they'd likely become so much better at interaction.
We do this in a hundred ways in English, emphasis, meta-words, too many to fold into a system. But with a little user prodding, I think you could cover enough of this ground to still sound almost natural.
Agreed that voice systems are an incredibly hard problem, but I suspect rule-based natural language correction systems would go a long way.
