They ran dragon on contemporary computers, and that was very good at least 10 years ago, probably more. So they have voice recognition working well on what would now be considered very constrained hardware.

I had an early version of Dragon on Tandy running Windows 3.1. And it was pretty usable. Not just dictation it could imitate mouse clicks when you said stuff like "maximize window".
