We are looking for a solution that will take audio (likely in digital/analog tape format) and transcribe the recordings into text. (Something that can eventually be brought into Word). I'm not sure what my options are as far as solutions go. Is anybody else using anything that works well for this purpose? DragonSpeaks seems to be good for speech to text, but is that the same as audio to text?

You will run into some problems just as one who say knows Spanish is suddenly found working for a tire company like I did.
The software vocabulary if it is specialized must then be learned buy the software package, otherwise it is worthless. One person would have to be dedicated in using the software.
The software has to have the ability of learning the person's voice print.

Speech to text/Audio to text >> basically the same thing, you are trying to get the speech/audio into MS Word?
There are a few companies that can offer this service on the internet.
DragonSpeaks being just one of them. I've used speech to text before (some years ago now), and at that point it wasn't all that accurate. I'm sure technology will have progressed now though.
I'd suggest you email around a few companies. Get some quotes/pricing on this, and explain what you are trying to do. They will be able to tell you straight up whether what you are trying to do is feasible (I'm sure to an extent it will be)
For now, check out the link below for some more information on speech to text and its possibilities.
