My own opinion is that the speech to text field is still in flux but the gold standard is Dragon.
Apple's tech got better with Siri, but she still screwed up a lot. Dragon 6's new tech with a LOT of AI can do a very high rate of accuracy with very little or NO training, and it seems to transcribe recorded speech very well, too. I will find out today if it is apple scriptable. Dragon 6 is the first version that I didn't give up on the first use. Methinks there are more than a few applications like OCR and Speech where it isn't worth the ROI to re-invent the market leader in some feature just for workflow convenience.. if Dragon leased, their code, that would be another thing, but I am pretty sure they are not and it was obvious from the first use is that it is very superior to anything I've ever used. And it's a bit of a dance to help it get it's hooks into the user's system. I could see from the quality of the app that they spent a lot of time developing this version. Beautiful work on Mac.
