I love it however I only use it when I'm using my Plantronics 510 head set. It seems to be about 98% accurate. It's especially good when telling it numbers to dial. So far I have 100% accuracy.

You can make two entries for example "Bob Work" and "Bob Mobile". If you have to do that for hundreds of entries then it probably wouldn't be worth it.
