There are several libraries for this kind of conversion - I host two of those on GitHub: libsprec (this uses the Google speech recognition APIs, so it supports multiple languages) and VocalKit which uses the high-quality opensource PocketSphinx library (however, it currently supports English only).
OpenEars uses PocketSphinx as well.
There are some commercial solutions as well: the Dragon Dication SDK is a popular, however quite expensive framework.

This is not really true. Pocketsphinx supports many languages, among them Russian, German, Spanish, Italian, French, Mandarin. You could add your own one with relatively simple effort. – Nikolay Shmyrev Dec 24 '12 at 15:16

@NikolayShmyrev There's only an English language model for the version I know about, but that might have actually changed over time. – Dec 24 '12 at 16:35

OpenEars is one of the best library available.
You could find all the details from their website.
