I've used Dragon Naturally Speaking (both an OLD and a new version) and still am disappointed at the results. Albeit recognition has greatly improved there is still room for much improvement. Optical Character Recognition has made huge leaps and bounds as opposed to speech. BTW I don't like speaking punctuation, etc. to the recognition software, either! I have yet to be impressed as well.

My is a medical transcriptionist who has been in the business of trying to figure out what doctors are saying as they dictate for over 25 years and there hasn't been a speech recognition software yet that can beat the trained ear of a good transcriptionist. Just too many dialects to take into account in all languages and all parts of countries from which people come that create certain linguistic characteristics that make writing such software nearly impossible. She can usually figure out what the doctor said by relistening several times, then knowing the speciality of the doctor and given her 25 years experience, she knows the difference between the drug name he just used and the surgical implant with a similar name to the drug. Even by training a system with 'one' doctor is only a miniscule step in the larger picture of the grand scheme of the technology.
