Welcome to our community, Heidi
Captivate won't be able to do this. You will need to resort to some third party software. Perhaps try the following link:

A better known solution is Nuance Software's " Dragon Naturally Speaking". It is a great deal more advanced in the interpretation and adaptation-to-voice issues than are most Speech-to-Text machines, but it doesn't sell for $39, either ... prepare to pay $100 - $300 depending on which version you purchase, and where you purchase it.
If you wish to convert existing audio files (WAV, MP3) to text, as opposed to converting a live narrative, this may not be your cup of tea. In that case, perhaps the earlier suggestion would work better(???). Good luck.1

P.S. The suggestion to "Google" for the answer to your question is probably the best idea. Use Google to find a list of possible solutions, then download the "trial" versions, and select the one that works best for you.

if you want verbatim audio conversion, then better go for manual audio transcription.

I believe you need high accuracy but that is not very feasible when you are doing it with software. Dragon is the most commonly used but cant be taken for professional purposes. There are services available, which come at a price. http://speechtotextservice.com is one that I have used for my seminars and webinars. It's the cheapest around I guess. Hope this helps.

Thanks for this tip Edgar. I was really having a hard time finding this kind of service for my audio files. Finally, tried your Transcription Service and it really worked great! Two thumbs up to you and for this forum.
