Ditto, ditto, ditto!
I thought it would be useful for entering material from an
old newspaper. Wrong.
From what I can make out, in the US you need to be a
native-born speaker of "midwest" -- the lack of accent most
Network TV announcers have -- working in a fairly
sound-proof environment for vox-rec to work properly.
I do know people who speak American-midwest, who have
radiant heat, who can't live without vox-rec.
As a quik'n'dirty comparison, the initial output of
vox-rec's I've tried frequently looks like an OCR'ed version
of a carbon copy of s document typed on a Smith-Corona.
