An anonymous reader writes "If you have ever asked "Do those speech-to-text apps like Dragon NaturallySpeaking and IBM ViaVoice really work?" Pocket PC Addict has posted a detailed review of Dragon Naturally Speaking for Pocket PC and Desktop machines. It is written from the perspective of someone who has been burned by speech to text software in the past and had vowed to never try one of these apps again. It is encouraging for slow typists who would like to use their voice to write. Plus it details some valuable tips for using it with Pocket PCs."

All though Text two speach is a grape gnu technology it is not red E for the main stream yet.

Now I see the master plan. Rather than improving speech-to-text technologies, the focus is on destroying basic literacy. Apart from the word 'grape', I parsed that sentence without even having to mentally translate it.
Based on current experience, I'd say speech-to-text is going to be a growing market :-(
