How about we just 'say' it ? At one hackathon, I had the idea of making an Alexa skill that would translate simple voice commands like 'graph column A' into matplotlib functions and then show the graphs. Teammates weren't too excited about spreadsheets though.
I think that depends... open floorplans already have plenty of ambient noise usually. Chatter, people on phones and web calls. If the voice input picked up in a small range and people got in the habit of kinda semi-whispering their occasional commands... I doubt it'd be a massive difference.
But I'm assuming lots of things, I can also envision your scenario playing out to great annoyance.
