Good "speech To Text" Software

[Mad Cat]

I want some good software that will convert my voice into text. I'd like to use it as an input for any program, as if I was typing with my keyboard.

I'd use it for instant messenger programs and office work.

Any reccomendations?

I think ScanSoft are supposed to be the best for this type of thing

It goes without saying it has to be freeware/pirateable

man , hope you got like 4 weeks to train it to recognise your voice ect , and even then it doesnt work more than 80%

unfortunatly they still havnt perfected any voice recog software well enough yet to make it viable
