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.
