Speech input to text output

Hello Everyone,

I want to write a C program which takes an audio/speech input and save it as a text into a file.

For instance:

Voice input: Hello

Text output: Hello (as string saved into a file)

I appriciate any suggestions. If you know an open source c-program (software) that does this job, please let me know.
Thanks,

Joealem.

Quite ambitious, if you plan on writing this yourself!

I imagine you have already Googled this, would you mind sharing what you learned? It's a very interesting project.

> I want to write
Meaning you need to hand something in...

> If you know an open source c-program
Meaning you don't want to write it, if you can possibly avoid it.

It also means you haven't used google either.
