My physician (a podiatrist) uses a voice recognition system to record notes after a patient visit. He loves this, finding it much faster and more accurate than writing. And, doctors' handwriting being what it is, his staff certainly appreciate the verbal notes too. Of course his "notes" are not particularly lengthy. But I can see plenty of similar applications.
As a new mom I was surprised (and not especially happy) to discover that, on entering a daycare room filled with toddlers, I could right away determine that MY toddler was sporting a full diaper load. Many moms with kids that age report the same experience. There's nothing like dealing with your own babies to make you realize what an animal you REALLY are.
