Speechnotes Yes No Yes No
Speech Productivity (SP) Yes (needs Dagon installed) Yes No Yes, via special ‘Dictation Box’ (using Dragon) Offers a much improved Dictation Box.
SpeechTexter Yes Yes

Windows Speech Recognition (WSR) / Cortana Yes Limited Yes Yes Crap, as usual, from Microsoft.
Microsoft's new
  • Voice access
  • Voice typing
 Yes Limited Yes Yes Finally, Microsoft’s built-in speech recognition is improving. Microsoft recently bought Nuance (makers of Dragon), and I suspect the new ‘Voice Typing’ in Windows is based on this, as the quality is much better than the old WSR engine. Extremely limited commands, and the second you finish speaking it stops listening, but the recognition is as good as basically already as good as Dragon, but there is no need to install anything on your computer.
