I frequently use voice commands for both my Android phone and for my Amazon Echo, which is the only way to interact with it. I even have my phone wake up and unlock from the sound of my voice because it's so convenient. I do it when I'm driving, when I'm in my bed and my phone is plugged in and out of reach and when I'm just too lazy. Outside of that I use my Echo for shopping, adding things to the shopping list as I'm looking through my fridge, timers, recipes, music, asking factual questions and more. I love voice activated features and don't find them super-awkward in the least.
