The person you are replying to is arguing the opposite - a future VUI could know your interests and just read you out the one relevant event rather than reading a list.

Alternatively it could summarise into “there’s a standup comedy gig, a few bands and various classes - what sort of thing are you looking for?” and then discuss with you to find the 2-3 events that are most relevant rather than reel off one big list.

And if it were a visual display of those things, I would have honed in on what I wanted and gotten my answer in the time it took me to ask what I was looking for.

It may be fantastic as an aid for low and no sighted people, but so long as I can read, a VUI is strictly inferior.

Disagree - both can complement each other in different circumstances.

If I’m ironing and want to know when my first meeting is, chances are a VUI is better.

If I want to see my whole days itinerary, a GUI is probably better.

This may require a level of accuracy and intelligence that is unobtainable to work.

I would still prefer it to send it to me on my mobile device display. Voice interaction is nice for accessibility, bu the first method of control (whatever it is) is faster.
