Probably need two computers.  The first plays the MP3s out through the speakers.  The second has voice recognition software such as Dragon Dictate and converts it into text.  You will need a microphone on the second computer.

Actually, one computer might be enough.
Most of the sound cards today are Full-Duplex (e.g. can play and get input at the same time) so connecting the output to the input of the sound card (physically or with a software that just redirect the output) will solve the problem. But, the main problem is to get a good speech recognition software.
Microsoft have one (MS dictation).
IBM have a better one, but none of them are 100% precise, and both of them requires a lot of pre-training.
None of them is a freeware, but I think the MS-Dictation have a shareware version.
Good Luck.
