I thought this was a fascinating article:
Now You're Talking
Google has developed speech-recognition technology that actually works.

Big implications for our collection of information in our outliners / PIMs / notetakers.
I think it would be a great idea to create a dedicated voice recorder device with its own 3g connection to Google - just press and hold a hardware button to speak, release to stop - the audio gets uploaded to google servers, and when you reach your computer, your transcribed text is already in your outliner.
Google does a good job of transcribing the speech I speak into my Android device, but Google Voice doesn't do very well at all in transcribing the voicemail messages that people leave for me. I suppose Google gets much higher quality audio from my Android phone than it gets from calling phones.
