You could try CMU Sphinx

http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/html/cmusphinx.php

 

The best speech recognition available today is offshore human decoding,
unfortunately.

Subject: [asterisk-users] Is voicemail to text possible?

 

Hi,

I understand that speech recognition technology is not very reliable, but
skype has has launched a voicemail to text service, and googling showed that
some other companies are also offering similar services. I haven't used any
such service yet, but was curious is there any open source software
available, which, to some extent, could help converting speech from
voicemial wav files to text files and could be used with Asterisk? Or is
there any other way to accomplish this?

I agree with you regarding offshore human decoding, and wondering if Skype
is doing the same. If you get voicemail converted to text in about 10-20
minute, most probably it is a human listening and typing it. To hire a few
people to do it in some cheap part of the world where they can understand
and write English for a few cents is entirely possible.
