Hi Miguel,

An extremely popular package for going from audio to text is Nuance's Dragon NaturallySpeaking:

But I warn you — it is not perfect! It will make many mistakes, especially from an existing audio file (my personal experience is that the accuracy is better from live dictation than from an existing file). Also, be careful which edition you buy — some have the ability to process an audio file, others don't. They're always changing the names of the various editions and I bought mine a long time ago, so I can't tell you exactly what current editions can process existing files — it's probably the Premium, Professional, and Legal editions, not the Home edition (but that's just a guess).
