Will We Be Speaking To The SPSS Program Soon?

And I don't mean the cursing when SPSS hiccups or fails for
some non-obvious reason or when you've been analyzing a dataset
for 24+ hours.  Apparently Microsoft Office 2013 will use the
voice recognition program Cortina to activate/control the programs,
especially if one wants to do data analysis in Excel (which has
been either working out or is on steroids).  Here's a link to an
article on the PC World website that claims that Cortina can be
used with Excel to do data analysis:

I can see this working out really well in college computer labs. ;-)
 
So, will it be just a matter of time before SPSS gets a voice
recognition interface to make data analysis even "faster and
easier!"?
 
If so, I want the voice to sound like Scarlett Johansson . ;-)
