I haven't noticed this problem in either ViaVoice or Dragon Naturally
Speaking. Both do some sort of statistical analysis that uses nearby
words to help decide.
The problem I HAVE noticed is that I need to keep looking at the text
and avoid looking at the screen. Any time I pause, the program tries
to transcribe every tiny little sound that happens as one of those
"little words."
