I can vouch for Andrew Apr 5, 2014

For geographic reasons I know Andrew personally. I have also used his translation services many times. He is an excellent professional and this presentation can be worth attending.

BTW: I already use speech recognition when the projects allow it and indeed it does speed up typing, although you need to keep a close eye at anything typed by the speech recognition, since sometimes it does funny things.
