As I read Peter Rooney's question, I think Peter is asking about automated speech-to-text, as opposed to systems to aid human transcription.
However, in the latter category,I would look at Amara, which is a nonprofit organization that provides free aids for creating captions (along with fee-based systems suitable for managing large-scale transcription projects: https://amara.org I would also look at Oral History Metadata Synchronizer from University of Kentucky: http://www.oralhistoryonline.org Peter, if you are interested in speech-to-text software, let the list know and I'm sure there are people who can share their experiences.
