JMB, I just spoke it as it went along, with a post-article keyboard tweak. There are commands for it to ignore you, change spelling, delete stuff etc. although I don't think they all necessarily work fully when embedded in applications. I did have to speak fairly calmly with clear diction in a quiet room- as I normally blog with the telly on for Karen (or David) & conversations around me then it will be much more difficult to get clean results at times. My biggest worry was that the laptop wasn't powerful enough to run it as the software has a high requirements spec.

Mind you I think I am better typing since I change my mind so much along the way. Did you literally just speak or did you have little notes on paper first? But it is impressive and great for handicapped people. My cell phone doesn’t even recognize my accent when I do voice activated dialing!
