Thanks Brian, I haven't used Dragon Dictation for a few months, sounds like
Apple came up with their own solution. I'm waiting for my contract to be up in
August before I upgrade to a 4S.
My guess is that Siri will be as fast and accurate as typing is for sighted
people who don't worry about correcting the typos they make with the on-screen
keyboard, which is good enough for maybe 90% of the texts you send.
Cheers,
Ian
