I assume you're talking about this? http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/features.html#dictation

I've used Dragon Dictation on an iPhone, and it's great. It's not perfect, but damn -- I can talk and it transcribes what I say with about 90% accuracy. That is Buck Rogers stuff if you ask me. Very cool.

I'm curious how this technology will affect the writing process. I'm so used to traditional methods, but I can see how this could be a huge boon -- especially for first drafts.
