Mountain lion–will dictation have correction?

So will the new dictation ability in Mountain lion have any form of correction? And if not, will it just keep making the same mistakes over and over again?

Unless it's been advertised by Apple, any confirmation one way or the other is a violation of the developers' NDA.

Lotsa violations on youtube, but none of them show correction. I can't imagine how it would be that useful (robust) without it.

It accesses a dictionary before it sends the text, just like on the iPhone 4s. No misspellings, but some errors will happen.

It's not misspellings that are my concern, its misrecognitions. Maybe I'm expecting too much.

Dragon's dictation/voice-recognition software I've heard is pretty good these day. Is it possible that any smartphone currently has enough power to achieve anything comparable?

I'm sure there will be manual correction if not iOS-ish auto completion and correction.

And I'll bet you can make it learn a word. It may be via keyboard shortcuts and cursor, the way it is now, but that would be good enough for me.
