ANY software 10-15 years ago would be less polished than today. I've been using Dragon NaturallySpeaking for about that long now (and have always invested in good quality Sennheiser mics too), and its progress over that time has been a real boon. For any long writing, I now use it as my first draft, and it reduces the amount of typing I have to do by at least 95%. It has learned both my accent and to a large extent my idiolect (through patient training), and given the less-than-common mix of languages from which I draw words I use frequently, this is no mean feat.
