1. Why did you decide to try voice recognition software?

2. Which software applications do you use with voice recognition software?

3. What feature of voice recognition technology is the most important to you?

4. What are your benefits from using this technology?

5. Have you discovered any disadvantages in using voice recognition technology?

6. What changes or adjustments did you have to make at your workplace or home?

7. Why do you think this technology will become more prevalent in your workplace?

8. How has your productivity increased by using voice recognition software?

9. Please add any general comments you would like to make about using voice recognition software.
