The subject is called Speech Recognition which is one of the complicated areas in software engineering.
There are two major types in Speech Recognition.
  1. Natural speech recognition (Complicated)
  2. Pre-defined grammar recognition (Comparably easy)
However there are ready-made libraries and software available.

If you want to integrate speech recognition to your software, then you need to install a speech recognition library.

Microsoft provides one free for Visual Studio 6 and Visual Studio.Net but this is inaccurate.
Dragon Natural Speaking is the best I know but a bit expensive.

See the following post that we discussed about a similar topic.

Other than speech recognition, I don't know any other way to do this.

You might need to fix a Mic and play the audio files from speakers.
Or else see this WAV to text software where you can give a WAV file as the source. http://download.cnet.com/Wave-To-Text/3 ... 41647.html.
