I went to turn on the native version to test whether it deals with non-USAn accents any better than it used to, and remembered why I haven't turned it on before: everything you dictate gets sent to Apple to be converted to text, along with a bunch of other information about you like the names of your contacts etc. Aside from privacy issues, this implies that it requires a constant internet connection. Sigh. I miss the days when you could just pay money to buy software that would do what you wanted.
