Has anyone ever used one? good? bad?

Depends on your microphone set-up. Voice recognition is part of the newer versions of Windows--did you know that? It's under accessibilty tools (or ease of access) in the accessories. What I have found is that one has to have a good microphone to make it work properly; if the mic doesn't pick up your voice clearly, the computer will make a ton of mistakes. The one that had me the most frustrated was when I said "it's a slow process" and the computer typed "this low profit" SIX times in a row. It wasn't the computer's fault; the microphone's limitation caused that.
