Some key points: - STT (speech to text) models are a new source of errors in input - which has impact on UX - Some UI elements don't have equivalents in voice, eg: drop downs - STT + TTS (text to speech) still struggle with names, addresses, food items which etc which are not anglo-saxon in origin + a few other points - check out the post
Would be great to hear and learn from your experiences building voice forms and experiences.
Disclaimer: I'm no UX expert and have not read those O Riley books that talk about building VUIs
