   How does the Turing Test apply to voice recognition?   
      
   Assuming you are serious, I'd say that there are many people who   
   misunderstand spoken words with the same frequency as computer voice   
   recognition software.  Some misunderstand more, some less, depending on the   
   quality of their hearing.   
      
   So either the test is irrelevant, or it succeeds with flying colors.   
      
   QED.
