Something interesting about using voice for this means that you are not limited by the number of keys on a keyboard, or the programmability of the keyboard in general.

The SCARF model involves five domains of human social experience: status, certainty, autonomy, relatedness, and fairness. - Status is about where you are in relation to others around you. - Certainty concerns being able to predict the future. - Autonomy provides a sense of control over events. - Relatedness is a sense of safety with others, of friend rather than foe. - Fairness is a perception of impartial and just exchanges between people.
