Do you have to tell it what language you're using in advance?
Yes, there's a dropdown where you select the language you're going to speak.
It's just another demonstration that Google and other similar companies are fundamentally on a different trajectory. Let's ride this rocket...
I first realized the voice to text improvement while watching my three-year old daughter search on my Android tablet...she can't spell (correctly) but used Google voice search quite effectively. This should enable the very young, the very old, the disabled, etc. to digitize (and therefore share) their words, stories and worlds. Powerful.
In case you were unaware, you can listen to past voice searches here: https://history.google.com/history/audio sometimes my wife and I will go back and listen to my son's searches for good laughs all around ;)
I would like to use this kind of thing even if I had to type the commands... anything to avoid mousing, and holding down arrow keys, and all that tedious stuff. Typing sentences is totally natural for me, I can do it all day. For years I've been dreaming of a renaissance of ed-like editors.

It's getting PRETTY close, with a basic cheap laptop microphone, my Australian accent, and no training. But I did say pretty close. Not exactly right. And I'm only speaking a few sentences. I read out a passage aloud, and apart from not quite getting everything right…
The Chrome integration is what is new right? I have been using Google Docs via phone using voice typing for a LONG time now. In fact, when I wanted to use voice typing at my desk I would just open the phone, open the document on both the phone and Chrome and watch the text appear on screen. Then edit it from the keyboard.
