Yes.

I think the reason for that is that you can train the desktop version to recognise your voice (and probably the mic is of higher quality), while there is no such training involved with the app (and the mic is not as good). It’s actually amazing it works as well as it does without the training. Thick accents though may get in the way.

But my hope is still to be able to find a scanner app with OCR that would allow me to extract specific lines of an image snapped with the iPod and transfer it easily to a text file.
