Given the current Voice Recognition technology, I'm certain it would exist in the 31st Century (unless the Succesion Wars wiped that out as well).

Mechwarrior: Switch Arrow IV to Homing Missiles.
Computer: Did you say dump Arrow IV ammunition?
Mechwarrior: NO! SWITCH to Homing Missiles.
Computer: Dump Arrow IV ammuntion? Please confirm.
Mechwarrior: NO! NO! NO!
Computer: Confirmed, dumping of all Arrow IV rounds in progress....
Mechwarrior: &%$@!!!!!

We hear that there are tumults and riots in Rome, and that voices are raised concerning the army and the quality of our soldiers. Make haste to reassure us that you love and support us as we love and support you, for if we find that we have left our bones to bleach in these sands in vain, then beware the fury of the legions.
