It's reasonably good although it has gotten worse lately weirdly. Sometimes it just completely ignores what I say or hilarious sound alikes come from what I'm saying. It is a lot better than it was about 5 years ago though.
Yeah I've noticed it sometimes seems to get worse. Don't know what phone you use, but when I use Google's voice-to-text on Android, I often have to correct mistakes, because it tries to do it word-by-word, but sometimes what I actually intend is not clear until I've spoken the whole sentence - and for whatever reason, Google very rarely goes back and changes a word it's already transcribed. For instance, if I say, "I think your speaking" it's not yet clear if that should be a "your" or a "you're", and it won't become clear until I complete the sentence/clause.
If I want to dictate a long piece of text, I will use OpenAI's text-to-speech, which is almost flawless (it doesn't start transcribing until you've finished everything you're going to say). I appreciate some people don't like OpenAI, but to be honest, Google isn't much better, and likewise Apple is not a lot better than Google.
