[Athen] Speech Recognition or Speech to Text

[Dan Comden]

In my opinion, "speech recognition" is more accurate for the Dragon
product. It allows hands-free operation that is so much more than dictation.

I save "speech to text" for describing the comparatively limited dictation
functionality on mobile devices.
