This is a lame site. I tried a few this morning and not only does it have an annoying input method that doesn’t let you put in spaces or your own punctuation but it also used corrected me incorrectly on grammar. I’m not sure how it picks the “right” things that the dictation says but it had problems with the its it’s and your you’re apostrophe mistakes.
