A lot of it is statistical inference. I've run into weird glitches where it chooses the completely wrong word that still fits. For example I used a sentence that ended with "cool!" but it transcribed it to "excellent!"
Obviously, "excellent" sounds nothing like "cool" but the sentence still worked because it was using the neighboring words to try and guess what should go there.

Whenever I truly don’t know which language someone is going to talk to me I nearly always need more than three words to orient myself. That’s why I’m so impressed.
