Before you go looking for alternatives, I'd like to point out something that 
you might not know about. I don't know how far this goes back in the 
generations of iPhones, but since I got my new 6S, i've noticed that I get much 
better dictation results when I talk near the earpiece part of the iPhone, 
rather than the bottom, near the speaker, like I used to do with my old iPhone 
4S. Since then, my dictation has improved beyond all recognition. I remember 
hearing somewhere that the microphone placement had changed. I think it was in 
a podcast by a guy named Neil, who was testing all the different iPhone Mike's 
with and without the processing that Apple puts on them. Anyway, just thought 
I'd let you know about my discovery.


Thanks,
Ari
