Is dictation of long texts possible with an iMac?

I have to dictate long texts very often. Is this possible with an iMac? What do I need for this? Any experiences concerning quality?

The Mac OS does have dictation ability built in but I find it annoyingly inaccurate even in the so-called more accurate mode. When I do use it I find that I must correct multiple errors, usually involving misunderstood words and some very odd kinds of errors as well. Generally speaking, I can type faster than I can dictate and correct.
