I also lost my voice in a bizarre fire breathing accident and urgently need to log into my telephone banking account.

Can anyone here give me a short list of relatively common ethical use cases for this technology. I'm trying to refute the ridiculous accusation that only deceptive, criminal minded people would have any use for this. Thanks.

Edit: Thanks for the many good-faith replies. So far I see these breaking down into;

Actual disability mitigation (of course I was joking about the circus accident). These are rare but valid. Who wouldn't want their _own_ restored.

Entertainment and games

Education and translation

No further comment on the ethics here, but FWIW I'm nervously looking at this having just written a study module on social engineering attacks, stalking, harassment and confidence tricks. :/

And yes, as bare tech, it is very cool!
