Dragon NaturallySpeaking is best speech recognition software available in market. Dragon Naturally Speaking 8 Professional, the latest incarnation of the popular speech-recognition engine from ScanSoft, is better at turning speech into text than any other commercial product on the market we’ve seen.

NaturallySpeaking uses a minimal visual interface. Dictated words appear in a floating tooltip as they are spoken, and when the speaker pauses, the program transcribes the words into the active window at the location of the cursor.

NaturallySpeaking has three primary areas of functionality. Dictation, whereby spoken language is transcribed to written text; commands that control, whereby spoken language is recognized as a command to click widgets (controls); and finally text-to-speech whereby written text is converted to synthesized audio stream.

Apart from NaturallySpeaking, you may also try Windows Speech Recognition . It’s included as part of Microsoft Office. It may also be downloaded as part of the Speech SDK 5.1 for Windows® applications;
