Ever tried using Speech Recognition Software?

I recently discovered I had speech recogniton/ voice recognition software on my computer. I was going to purchase it because I was curious, but then it dawned on me to go down to my start menu and type in speech recognition -- and low & behold! there it was. I've been practicing with it and it seems to work fairly well. It says the more you work with it the better your computer will be trained to understand you. I still don't have it down easy enough to replace my 2-finger typing LOL... but if I do it would be a huge convenience just to sit back and talk to my computer and let it type and open programs for me. What about you, have you ever tried speech recognition on your computer?

Have tried speech recognition once with the MS word. tried to get it ready but spent an hour at it. but it could not type correctly what i say. it required more training. i got so absurd results that i didn't believe that training would give me very good results. also i didn't know till when i need to train. then i gave up.
