    A good mic can make all the difference in the world. Get a good noise canceling mic headset combo.
    And read to it for about 1 hours worth and you should be good.

    Its flawless for me, I did all of the training and then everytime I finish writing I quit and save the user file. After a couple of months of use the only mistake is the occassional comma that I need to input.

    By the way how is this question classified as general marketing?

    I currently have version 7 and even it is quite accurate. I am an American though and maybe it does not like accents from some countries I do not know but if you have a GOOD quality mic it should work well.

    ok I trained it more last night....and it does work great. I wrote and edited 10 articles in about 2 hours. It used to take me about 5 hours just to write them. It's the best investment yet.

    He/she said 10 in the title of this post. If you are having trouble you need to get a better mic or do more training. What mic do you use?

    Wow, you must be a rich guy haha.
    Honestly that mic is probably one of the best you can get. The only other thing is to do more training or talk a different way.

    No No it has built in British accent recognition I think. I meant like faster or slower. Speak the words more clearly or something. I just got version 10 and with my laptops built in mics(getting a headset on Tuesday) it does pretty well with just 15 minutes of training.

    Well I hope it works. I just got version 10 working today and saw it had accents. Since I am from the Southern USA and it has a accent for it I used it. I don't have a deep accent but northerners have said I talk funny and so have people online.
    You according to the program training, need to talk normally and not sound out the words but make them 100% clear. It may take several hours of reading to it to get it to work great but it would be worth it. When you use the program to correct problem words like say "Correct (the word)" and chose the right option or say the new word then the program will learn from that too. After time you may not need to do too much training but training it can make it work better quicker.
