Typing is so old school. People are increasingly talking to their smartphones, and chatty teens are leading the way.
Mobile device voice searches doubled in the past year, according to a survey commissioned by Google. Fifty-five percent of teens and 41 percent adults use voice search more than once a day. Asked why, "it's the future" was the most popular answer. (We explored the topic in a Star Tribune story this summer.)
So what are people asking their devices?
And when are they talking instead of typing?
But the gadgets can't do it all on command just yet. What do users wish voice search could do? Order pizza, find the remote and find the keys.
