## Touchlessness

Most of us will experience machine listening as an interface. Say goodbye to spring-mounted keys and clicking mice, maybe soon even the quiet tap of fingers on capacitive glass. "Alexa," we command - or is it ask? - into an airy, expectant atmosphere. ![Touchlessness](audio:static/audio/andrejevic-touchlessness.mp3)[^andrejevic] refers first to this invisibility of interface, but it is also "social distancing", remote work, standing no less than 2m apart in a queue for toilet paper, and, in the case of corona voice diagnostics, the idea that computational systems might determine the presence of the virus from the sound of a person's speech or cough.

There's no evidence yet that such a thing is possible, but many organisations are trying [Voca.ai, Cambridge, MIT, Swizterland, Sonde, Soniphi], and they are thirsty for data. "Donate your voice." "Hit record and read the following sentences while pinching your nose." "Press record and cough three times." [refs, or maybe a video?]
