That is indeed true. I stumbled across an open-source project that is taking the right approach to this. It involves running a server on a regular PC that recieves a compressed audio stream from a WM client, performs the conversion to text, and sends the resulting text back to the client. While this method is less than ideal, particularly for those without a data plan, it is really the only feasible option.
I'm currently trying to stamp out the bugs in it and make it usable for the lay person, but it will take some time. Debugging a 6-project solution is not an easy task, especially when the documentation is all in a foreign language.
