Do you find any problems with stylistic changes of writing versus speaking? I have the latest version of Dragon Naturally Speaking (and have had past versions 9.5, 10 and 11) and I find them totally useless.
Although they do a phenomenal job of voice recognition (I spent a year in a PhD program in Linguistics so I understand the complexities involved in the air-vibrations-to-printed-text route) I find that my writing style changes completely between speaking and typing. Though I'm a lawyer, when typing I use fairly short declarative sentences, which makes the text easy to understand. With dictation it comes out routine legalese instead. I spend so much time editing the dictation to make it simple that it's easier just to type from scratch.
