When I first saw this thread, I looked up the problem on Google, and
one of the transcription programs used an auxiliary program,
"Dragon Naturally Speaking."  I suspect you're going to have to
use Windows to solve your problem. Someone here has probably
used DNS, and can tell you whether it can recognize speech without
being trained by a particular speaker.  If it can't, there may not be
a practical solution.
