Do you know a good voice recognition software?

My son is currently in college. For a gift, I was thinking about getting him software that recognizes what you say and types it for you (for his reports, etc.). Have any of you ever used it? Any brands you would recommend?

Dragon Naturally Speaking is generally regarded as the industry leader.

I know it’s a longshot but if he has a Mac then MacSpeech Dictate is pro-level; it uses the Dragon Naturally Speaking engine as well.

@aphilotus and @sndfreQ Thanks for your responses. I’m going to see if I can find it tomorrow.

My boyfriend has great luck with Dragon Dictate. Once you get it trained it is supposed to be great.

To all. Thanks for your input. I’m going to go look for it today.
