If you have Vista PC on hand there is a builtin feature that would cost you nothing.

We had a version from IBM a few years back that was crap but I don't think it is still around so you're safe. It's main problem was the fluctuation of your voice would make it spell nonsense that looked exactly like you were saying but made no grammatical logic. People read from a script to get a voice stamp to get it started. Problem is people read one way and talk complete differently when dictating.
