Warning: Another cheerleading post from your humble narrator. Disregard if you're not fortunate enough to have an Android phone, or Google apps loaded on your non-Android phone. (Wow, I barely got that warning in before I started shilling!)
Do you ever talk to your cell phone? No, not on your cell phone, but to your cell phone! You can, you know. It will listen to you (and you thought no one listened to you!).
In all seriousness, voice recognition technology has come a LONG way. If you have an Android phone and you don't have the Voice Search app, shame on you. And now the Google Chrome browser will listen to you, too!

Note that Google voice actions work on non-Google phones, too. Just download the Google Mobile app and you can do this on most any smartphone!
Check it out, watch the videos ... and give it a try! At least try it out on your cell phone.
Here is a link for "Voice Actions for Android" from Google:

Note that even if you don't have an Android phone you can click the "Google for Your Phone" to get voice search (Google Mobile app) for other phones. Or just visit "m.google.com" from your phone's browser.
