I’m actually using it right now to dictate this comment. I’ve been pretty impressed with its accuracy out of the box, but I have to make sure that I enunciate all my words. And I’m still getting used to the editing commands and dictating in general.

If I had to rely solely on speech recognition for dictating and editing I would be less productive than just typing right now. However, I believe I’m more efficient with a combination of speech recognition and typing.

As far as a microphone recommendation, I’m using a Plantronics DSP-400 headset. It works very well with Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9, but I wouldn’t recommend it for the mobile web worker. The DSP unit attached to the USB cord is very bulky.

Here’s a short overview of Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 from my blog.
