From the FAQ on Mirabai Knight's website: http://stenoknight.com/FAQ.html#cartspeech

"Automatic speech recognition is not currently a substitute for human transcription, because computers are unable to use context or meaning to distinguish between similar words and phrases and are not able to recognize or correct errors, leading to faulty output. The best automatic speech recognition boasts that it's 80% to 90% accurate, but that means that, at best, one out of ten words will be wrong or missing, which results in a semantic accuracy rate that's often far lower than 90%, depending on which word it is."

(this is a subset of the answer to "Will speech recognition make CART obsolete?")
