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."
