The Bank of America changed its customer account information audio response system a few months ago to all voice recognition.


A week or two ago they changed it, "because we listened to you," they changed it to where you can select either voice recognition or Touch-Tone entry.


Like you, I dislike voice recognition systems and for the same reason. (Most voice recognition systems can be used with Touch-Tone entry, but you usually have to use trial-and-error to guess the corresponding buttons to push.)
