Must be former RAH pilots thinking it has the touchscreen that's always on. Our planes have both touchscreen and voice recognition. In order to enable the touchscreen tap the PA button twice within 2 seconds then hold it down and say "ok embraer, enable touchscreen". On the EWTs you can even say "ok embraer, [command] (i.e. "engage autopilot" or even "activate vectors"). This only works with both engines running or a wheel speed greater than 5 knots. I hope this clears up some confusion. It's pretty nifty stuff.
