Back then it wouldn't recognise continuous speech, i.e. you had to pause between each word.

I haven't kept up with recent speech recognition tech, so maybe you're right that the N900 could do it on the device itself. But there was presumably a good reason that Nuance used a cloud solution for the iOS version of Dragon.
