As far as I know Dragon NaturallySpeaking (now renamed Dragon Professional Individual since version 15) is significantly more accurate than Kaldi, but I have never investigated Kaldi thoroughly: it isn't plug-and-play.
I personally use Dragon NaturallySpeaking and have defined a bunch of simple voice commands. When coding, I use a mixture of voice commands and typing. The best source of information on Dragon that I am aware of is http://knowbrainer.com/forums/forum/index.cfm? I haven't taken the time yet to explore Dragon NaturallySpeaking's extension Vocola and Natlink: they may make defining voice commands more efficient and powerful.
It's a shame that Baidu/Google/Microsoft, who all the claim to match human performances for speech recognition, do not have any decent speech recognition program to use on a computer (a speech rotation program that could be used anywhere in the OS, and not just in the browser or in some specific applications).
Some links that may be of interest to you:
As a side note, my main motivation in using a speech recognition software is productivity: it is easily three times faster than typing (and I am a fast typer). So it's not just about relieving pain. I think more people would use it if they were aware of that.

I'd vouch for this, the $50 mark is tough to find something that ticks more than just a few boxes.
This thing is comfy, has an adjustable headband from both ears, good little windsock on it for muffling of breathing, has a mute button on the USB soundcard.
