Hi. I read an article about the speech to text recognition that is included in Windows 7 (and presumably Windows 8). Is anyone using this feature in W7? From the article:

"Advances in speech-recognition and dictation technology have quietly made stunning leaps forward in recent years; and although it isn't perfect yet, speech recognition has suddenly achieved very good usability." Here is a link to the article: Ditch Your Keyboard with Windows Voice Commands.

I use the speech to text on my iPhone, which works pretty well and I use the speech to text on my Samsung TAB 2 as well, but it isn't as good as the iPhone recognition.

I'd like to know if any of you have/are/are planning to use this Windows service and how it's working/how it worked.

Thanks!
