There are many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that many people use
Voicenotes. Beyond that, though, the ability to speak a code is directly
related to the ability to print/translate it. Both functions come back to the
same core problem: Keysoft needs to understand the code before it can do
anything. Once it understands what the rules and symbols for a given code are,
then you pretty much get translation, printing, speaking, displaying on a
monitor, and so on for free.
