I've been wondering if something along this line will ever make it into General Aviation, that is, the approach/departure controller sending the information to the cockpit by text instead of voice. Seems the advantages would be many. Found this article from a few years ago:

Admittedly the few instructions for most day VFR flights are usually easy enough to remember and read back. Still, sometimes it's busy, bumpy, & difficult to hear with all the radio clutter and it seems texting the information into the cockpit would make life easier than trying to write down this information.
I don't fly often into towered fields but the more I venture out the more it becomes necessary to do so.
Perhaps this is as simple as an extremely accurate "talk to text" program (or app) using your smart phone to translate the message and hold it on the screen until you delete it ...
Curious,
