In some situations excessive use of this feature can actually degrade 
accuracy.  I've had it happen to me, and so have others.  Usually 
it's because the users voice has temporarily changed due to cold, 
fatigue, or there is an external cause such as a background noise 
level that is different.  If this feature is used repeatedly under 
those conditions (most likely out of habit) then over all accuracy 
will suffer.

Perhaps I should have said it needs to be used with some awareness of 
when it is appropriate and when it isn't.  In my own personal 
experience there is no measurable difference in accuracy between 
using the feature and not using it after about six weeks.  So after 
that time frame I stop using it to avoid he possibility of 
accidentally degrading accuracy.  Keep in mind I am a *heavy* user of 
ViaVoice.  others may get different results.
