I would like to know if there is a way to take a sound file that is on my
computer and convert it into text.

I recently purchased a travel voice recorder. I can load the voice files to
my computer but would like to be able to transfer them into typed texted,
most likely in Microsoft Word.

I have Windows XP with Office 2003 on my computer. I have full use of the
language bar settings.

Is there a macro that will allow me to do this? Or do I need to buy
additional software?

Maybe Dragon Naturally Speaking can do it, it's not going to work with
just Office and XP.

I have been using Dragon Naturally Speaking 9.0 on Office 2003 for several
months and it works very well for standard dictation - fast and accurate
after little learning on the part of the user and the program. However, in
office 2007 it was making errors and slow. I found the solution to be a free
upgrade to 9.5, which was built for Microstoft Vista but also works with XP.
The key part seems to be the file structure change in 2007. I use preferred
and it was about $200 at many vendors. It is now fast and accurate, and i
tested it in 2007 word, onenote, and outlook.
