Yes you have to spend time training it, I admit, i was not impressed after spending a few hours dictating dumb practice speech stuff into the microphone during my work day. I was tired, and I put it away unimpressed, I did not touch it for a few weeks. The next time i opened it up though, it worked perfectly. It really is accurate enough to replace typing words. Speaking at a normal pace and volume, it works perfect. With increasing amounts of background noise, it can fail a bit, but I never had that happen in my office with door shut. The microphone and headset that often comes bundled is a necessary part, and super high quality. All the reviews are for real, it works in any application that has a text cursor. if you need it get it it works. All that said, i feels better typing the words, and I think I am faster typing than talking. good luck, -patrick siemer tapeandglue.com On Nov 21, 2012, at 1:27 PM, Teddy Gage wrote: > Premiere can (somewhat) parse voice to text in a video stream but > that is different than live voice recognition for text input and > commands. > > There is software called Dragon naturally speaking, that will do > this.

There is software called Dragon = naturally speaking, that will do this. Its not great though, unless you = spend a lot of time training it to your voice. Hope it helps though.
