Underneath it uses webkit speech api tightly integrated with bootstrap-wysiwyg editor. The service itself has a relatively good accuracy at-least for the English language.


I just tested it and had a huge problem with accuracy. It may be good enough for search, where you're speaking only a few words, but trying to actually dictate a document, I wouldn't find this useful.
