For some time, people have been doing research and development in speech recognition.

As the 'locator device' why not voice recognizer?

While I am in my screen editor, I could say 'INSERT' or 'UPSCREEN' rather than the key strokes.

I could say 'SEARCH' then it would prompt me for a search string.

In addition a key should be provided to toggle this feature on and off. Imagine a demonstration saying Search or Reverse Screen and your presentation is forever doomed.

Comments and ideas are being explored by a research group here at Penn in this area. We'd like to know what the Works community feels.
