Jack, don't be too dismayed if it doesn't seem to work well right off. It does need to get used to your voice, pronunciation, speech mannerisms and all that, and the more you use it, and patiently correct it as you go along, the better it gets.

I've found that, even now, having to correct it from time to time can get a bit exasperating and I sometimes wonder if it's worth it, but when I'm working on articles and other writing projects, I'm cranking out about twice as much copy as I used to. And even when I was just typing, I had to go back and make corrections and carefully proof-read.

You might think of it as having to deal with an idiot child, but one that learns very fast. And once it gets the hang of it, it's very helpful.
