That could be immensely helpful for people who cannot speak due to vocal chord problems.

It could also be the ultimate, always-on remote control for everything around, with a near-zero error rate.

Exactly - a universal input device.

It could help not only people with vocal cord problems, but also essentially anyone who is paralyzed from the neck down.
