The conversion of text editor (no graphics or mouse) to 
word processor in the above conversation not only shows
a common practice, but a common predjudice against the
handicapped who cannot use a mouse. 

A voice processor can permit paraplegics and other 
people who cannot use a mouse easily to use a text editor,
but it is a lot harder to have a voice processor drive
a text editor.
