Is it text-to-speech or speech-to-text?

The story sounds like it is for dictation software which is speech-to-text. The end of
the story sounded like they were demoing it to do text-to-speech. The Mac already
has a pretty good text-to-speech capability, but it does need a lot of help in the
speech-to-text area. I have used the Speech Recognition ability in System Preferences
to operate the Mac. There are over 60 built in commands available, but no way to
convert speech-to-text for use in an app like TextEdit or Word. The VoiceOver ability
is useful to 'read' what is on the screen, whether it is text or an open window or even
a button selected, for those who have problems seeing the screen.
