I'm working right now and just had a minor example:
Dictated: "I told the father there may be a minor fracture and I wanted to splint her."
SR: "I told the father there may be a minor fracture and I wanted to splinter."

Here's another:
D: "The patient heard a loud cracking noise."
SR: The patient her allowed cracking noise."

Two words: Job. Security.

I contributed many examples of this stuff to Don Gaynor's humor thread, half unintentional humor by dictators and half SR oopsies. It's on pg. 40 for anyone who wants to have a shufti.

I find that my nexus 7 is not too bad at SR. I remember when I got my first computer in it was an IBM package I think that was in fashion.

Not too sure if its dragon naturally speaking who lead the field now. I have tried SR a few times. Gives me a laugh the examples it comes up with.

Never stays on my computer though.
