You're cruising along with Voice Navigation, and you come across something that you want to do, but you don't know what the voice command is. The possibilities for applications of VoiceType are numerous. I can imagine all sorts of situations where voice control would be far superior to the mouse or keyboard. For example, you're in the heat of battle in MechWarrior getting pounded by an enemy that has seemingly come out of nowhere. Although we haven't yet arrived in the era of the computers seen in Star Trek, VoiceType is certainly a giant leap in that direction.
Voice control is the next big step in the human-computer interface.
