Add the ability to write a text prompt; accessibility wise - not everyone speaks the same or can be understood by basic speech to text

Yup. After 6 attempts it still couldn't understand me. And I'm a native english speaker, grew up in the US northeast, and nobody would accuse me of having any sort of non-US-broadcast-standard accent.
And some of us just plain don't want to use voice interfaces.
I don’t mind using them, but this one doesn’t work. It makes for some comical images but this is not an effective voice prompt.
