Question (halfway on topic) --

Who makes the best speech recognition software in the world? Regardless of whether it is available to consumers ... who is the best at it?

In particular, how do Apple (Siri) and Google (Google Now) compare to Nuance's stuff? Is Nuance so far ahead of everyone else that they're the clear leader? Or is their codebase "legacy" and vulnerable to better, more accurate software which can be built now due to better algorithms and approaches?

I don't know who makes the best. But I know the history behind dragon is very sad.

Wow! That would lead one to speculate that perhaps they haven't had the best of engineering teams focused on improving the product over the years! Which means there might be a huge opportunity here.
