I've tried L&H Voice Xpress Pro, Vsn 5.0. I was rather pleased with its
performance. It is a bit of a memory hog though. My investigations
revealed (1) all of the major players had their own strengths and weaknesses
but all performed about equally (2) the Professional version is much better
than the standard, (3) the newest versions worked better.

There used to be three main contenders in this field, each of which
offereed several bundles in the range of $40 to $160 or so:
1. IBM "Via Voice"
2. Dragon "Naturally Speaking"
3. L&H (Lernat & Houghspie -- spelling?)
Then L&H bought Dragon -- and then it went the way of Enron.
