I started using Dragon Naturally Speaking when I had a broken arm several years ago. Once I trained it (and yes it is an investment in time), it worked very well. The trick is to train it for your different tones of voice. I have one that is for early morning, one that is tired, and one that is for a cold or stuffy nose. I have a couple of clients that use it also and they just send their transcription to me to "proof and format" it correctly.

There are different types of versions out there and the basic program is horrible. I have the Pro version. I have worked with the medical version and it helps quite a bit with those lovely medical terms, but the price tag is very expensive.
