It's great to see the improvements in this area. The voice recognition (if not the natural language processing) in systems like Amazon's Echo are pretty decent at this point for basic commands.
That said, I've tried the computer speech to text systems for transcribing interviews. And even with just one person talking they're nowhere good enough for me to use. Even budget human transcription (e.g. CastingWords) is just so much better that it's nowhere worth my time to use a machine-based system.
