Well I had been really looking forward to being able to dictate my emails, 
letters etc and so upgraded yesterday to ML only to find everything you speak 
for typing gets sent to Apple who presumably have thousands of typists sitting 
in a bunker waiting for people to use the software! And what's this about 
trying to understand one's relationships within one's contacts!

Here's part of the blurb you can find in Sys Prefs......there's more should you 
wish to read it

When you use the keyboard dictation feature on your computer, the things you 
dictate will be recorded and sent to Apple to convert what you say into text. 
Your computer will also send Apple other information, such as your first name 
and nickname; and the names, nicknames, and relationship with you (for example, 
“my dad”) of your address book contacts.  All of this data is used to help the 
dictation feature understand you better and recognize what you say. Your User 
Data is not linked to other data that Apple may have from your use of other 
Apple services

 Anyone else find this rather an invasion of one's privacy? There seems to be a 
presumption by Apple that we all trust them implicitly.
