How Will Voice Control Change the Web Browser?

We all know how to use a desktop browser. You type in a URL or search term, head to the website of your choice, and read the information it serves up. While browsers have added some bells and whistles--additional security features to protect your data while browsing, for example, or things like Reading Lists to circle back to longreads when you've got extra time--their general operation and navigation hasn't changed much over the past decade. Now, a new trend is gaining traction--voice control--and it could give us a new way to browse the internet. VoiceOver offers auditory cues for what's on your computer screen, including descriptions of each on-screen element. For those unable to use a keyboard or mouse, software such as Nuance's Dragon Speech Recognition offerings allow users to dictate documents or messages.
