I enabled the voice command feature on my Mac and the elderly relative,

completely round the bend when she saw & heard me, through an open door,
sitting in my arm chair, facing my desk, talking to my computer, and
that in the way one does, talk, to a compute, setting at a desk,
staring straight ahead and sharply speaking to thin air! apparently
"almost barking commands" to a blank wall.
I actually only came to know about it cause she was so concerned by the
sudden occurrence of the phenomena that she talked to a friend of mine
about it who then told me of her own concern.
I stopped using the voice commands not so much because it made the ER
think i was barking mad but rather because i had to train the thing to
my voice and remember the proper commands or use the mouse to look them
up, but rather more so because it seems very odd to me to talk to a machine.
Although some of the new voice activated writing software on the market
to day is again intriguing me. I think i speak better than i write.
Which, i know, isn't saying much, given how poorly i write anyway

How stupid of us to assume that people would be using mice.
You could just ignore it rather than whining, "I don't use a mouse"
all the time. People who are the 1 in 20,000 exception should really
learn not to whine about their oddities and quirks. It's not like
you're missing arms or fingers to be able to operate one. You chose
to be the oddball. Live with it.

I can tell just by the way you write that I would strangle the shit
out of you if were ever forced to listen to you in person. You'd be
an extraordinary verbose version of Charles Emmerson Winchester.
