Right out-of-the-box with no training and it's dead accurate. This just crazy cool! This can even make the iPad version of Pages worthwhile. I've never seen any kind of speech dictation system that's this accurate right out-of-the-box. I've played with Dragon and some others. None come close particularly when you consider that there's no training whatsoever. I'm just blown away.

All the above was dictated. I didn't type thing but I did make a couple corrections.
