Your Vista information is good, but I think a major point of the general voice recognition is to 'work' and to save time. And while the Microsoft voice recognition works fine in office, wordpad, notepad and other Microsoft products, it doesn't like anything outside of that. When the voice recognition works, it does good. Recognition is fast and corrections is kinda goofy. The GUI is not great. Unfortunately, Nuance DNS is the only one that can compete in this area...

The Win 7 voice recognition from Microsoft has the same problems and compensates for this issue by creating a 'text box' to put your spoken words in to and to add those words to a program you've to press enter after each set of words. While this is based on the beta information this doesn't mean that they aren't going to change it later, but I doubt it.

Voice recognition is getting much better and with 64-bit systems and their resources, I think the voice recognition is going to excel.
