I recently evaluated a senior citizen who was cognitively alert and highly interested in using technology to communicate with others and search for information on the Internet. As new iPads with iOS 9 appear, the “Hey Siri” feature may make the need for keys for speech recognition obsolete, but until that time, some users may need that feature readily available on the keyboard.
