I am now in the market for a voice recognition system and it seems that Dragon Naturally Speaking is the most widely used system. “Dragon NaturallySpeaking Professional 9 is the most accurate speech recognition product Nuance has ever developed - delivering up to 99% accuracy!” It now takes two hours to train to your voice with the demonstration kit (double that for real life) and is only operational in one language if my information is right.
Via Voice (IBM) is a close second and the older versions were very well-liked by users. I do not know if it has been weeded out by the competitor.
Dragon Naturally Speaking also comes in a preferred version and I do not know if that would improve a translator's office performance.
I am a fast translator but a terrible typist.
Any experience with these?

It is is French by the way. The French version recognises the English language but not vice-versa.
