dragon un-naturally speaking

A friend of mine a while ago let me have his copy of Dragon Naturally Speaking, the voice recognition software. I've had limited success with it (although admittedly I haven't been able to use it a lot).

It has one feature that will take a pre-recorded audio file - i.e. MP3, and transcribe what it hears into a Word doc. Sweet! I wanted to use this a couple weeks ago when I transcribed a talk by Mark Driscoll on the emerging church. It was a one hour sermon, and doing it manually was going to take serious time. This seemed like the solution.

Uh, not so much. Here's the Dragon transcribed file. Compare to the original I did by hand. Heheh.
