Same question was asked recently. See here. Audio to text

Sorry there is no real answer when it comes to freeware.

I haven't tried it but Express Scribe Transcription Playback Software was recently mentioned at MakeUseOf.

if you are native english speaker and use windows 7 then you can try below:

plug in microphone and type 'sound' without quotes in start menu and select 'sound' and press enter

then go to recording -> select microphone -> configure then you should see how to instruct your computer using your voice such as typing.

however I find it difficult because windows was resisting to understand my voice.

This article contains a few recommendations that you could take a look at.

That's a nice way of putting it, 'resisting'. I had myself in stitches here one day trying to read what it wrote when I spoke. I plan to try it again some time for the entertainment factor

This is still very much a developing field.

I've looked into it in order to develop some STT software, but at the moment, it's not practical to publish it as freeware, which I was hoping to do (free & pro).

Give it a few years and the field will mature enough for there to be free software available.
