Dragon Dictation works on the iPhone.
Google also has speech to text on the Android phones.

Out of the Box Perfect Speech Recognition

Here's a signal on the future of conversational interfaces.

I'm creating this blog by speaking into my iPhone.  My words are
simply being transcribed into text using a cool free iPhone speech
dictation program called Dragon Dictation.

I suppose that composing thoughts this way will take some getting used
to. It's amazing that the text is coming out perfectly nearly every
time, maybe because I am intentionality speaking slowly and I must be
speaking nearly generic English, easiest for the Dragon recognizer.
People who speak with regional dialects or accents may not achieve the
same accuracy in their transcriptions.

For now, the Dragon service works only while online.  Google has
similar speech to text capabilities for Android phones integrated
across applications like search, e-mail, and maps.

This capability will seem trivial to kids in the future, but it it's
astounding to me!
