Can a voice input system be used by people with speech impediments?

Since voice input systems learn how individuals pronounce various words, it is possible for a person with a speech impediment (or regional accent) to use this technology. The key is the consistency of how the words are pronounced. From our experience, the discrete speech system Dragon Dictate seems to be the easiest to force into accepting non-standard pronunciation. Even with Dragon Dictate, the training period will take longer and the low initial accuracy rates may be frustrating.
