When the speech recognition experience becomes good enough, the awkwardness —both individual and social— will dissipate. For example: at the moment, the entry and exit points for speech recognition are kludgy at best. Once your many devices operate as a single entity, the entity recognizes your (and only your) voice, the entity simply performs on command, and a reliable and comfortable/natural exit point is designed, so much of the weirdness will just disappear.
