If the computer accepts verbal commands, what do you need a control panal for anyway? You'd just need a display.

Then what would people tap on to indicate the fact that they're doing something useful? You're just being unreasonable.

Re: What would you fix on the E-D?
It would also be highly unpractical, if everybody would enter verbal commands only. I mean, besides the noice level it would create, the computer is confused enough!

The Prommie was only keyed to recognize smug, whiny, coked-up voices - hence, Andy Dick was able to operate it.

Re: What would you fix on the E-D?
I'd say having voice-recognition on every panel would be highly inconvinient. For one, it's easier to tap keys all day than talk all day, and secondly can you imagine what would happen if someone walked past you saying "sometimes I just wish the captain would say 'fire all torpedoes!'"?

Re: What would you fix on the E-D?
Well, it wouldn't be to hard to do. Preface each command with the traditional "Computer" command. And set the voice recognizers on each panal to a certain sound level, to elimate background noise. But for security, have it only respond to untranslated english, so UTs can't work. Keep the Romulans, Ferengi, and other baddie of the week the hell off the computer, unless they are linguists also.

I couldn't even pick up Spanish in high school. It's harder than it looks.

How would the computer be able to recognise between translated speech and real speech? They sound the exat same.
