Speech-to-text/speech recognition programs

[Like Ra]

Does anybody know if opensource standalone speech-to-text programs ever exist? The idea is to use speech recognition to create text files from interviews, videos (e.g. youtube) , films, hypnosis files, etc. I tried to use Google Voice input on my smartphone, but it's atrocious...

A program called Dragon Software allows one to talk into a mic and the computer converts it to text. The text is then stored in a file for storage or or loaded in a file to be sent by email.

Thanks! But not free, not for Linux, and adapted for your voice only (at least, this is what I understand). That led me to this article:

A lot to learn again...

Well, it is an old program, dated back to the late 90s.
But somewhere in the back of my mind, there is another speech to text program that was free. For the life of me, I just can't remember.
