And if it were a visual display of those things, I would have honed in on what I wanted and gotten my answer in the time it took me to ask what I was looking for.

It may be fantastic as an aid for low and no sighted people, but so long as I can read, a VUI is strictly inferior.

Disagree - both can complement each other in different circumstances.

If I’m ironing and want to know when my first meeting is, chances are a VUI is better.

If I want to see my whole days itinerary, a GUI is probably better.
