Mountain Lion Dictation...

Does anyone use this?

I have used this for the first time today and I have been truly amazed. I have always dismissed dictation programs as they usually do not work as you spend more time correcting things. So today I'm trying to use it and I answered all my emails and it was flawless. It even used my contacts to insert the correct names when I was replying to people.

I just used it to create this post as well.

Really really impressed and easy to switch on with a double tap of the fn key.

I used it when I first got ML but I quickly forgot about it as I can type faster. It still needs improvement before I'd consider using it permanently.

Yes I tried it but it doesn't seem to work quite as well from me, maybe it just doesn't like my accent or something

1,2,3 line quick emails works perfectly. It was faster than typing.

Yeah it's awesome if you know exactly what you want to say - but sometimes I only think about what I want to say while I type

So I end up with "The fox went over the err fence and then err it did a cartwheel and an err awesome backflip"
