I am writing a program of my own and I’m going to need to do documentation soon. To make that faster I enabled windows speech recognition because when it doesn’t make mistakes speech recognition is much faster than typing. However, at this point the accuracy rate is appalling. In fact it seems lower than a program I owned 10 years ago put out by IBM called Via Voice. However, Via Voice had you do about ½ hour of voice training for it and Microsoft doesn’t. Since all the voice recognition programs learn your voice over time and since little training was done with the Microsoft I suspect it will get better with time.

So has anybody used it before and does it get much better? Has anybody used dragon before and the windows version and tell me which one is better? And just out of curiosity how well does Siri work?

And just for kicks and giggles I will to write this same thing over again without making error corrections.
