You can easy convert English speech into text on your PC.
This manual works for all Windows (WinXP-Win10)

1.Install VoiceMeeter, VB-CABLE.
Download and install VoiceMeeter.
https://vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/
or using a direct link
https://download.vb-audio.com/Download_CABLE/VoicemeeterSetup.exe
Download VB-CABLE.
https://vb-audio.com/Cable/
or using a direct link
https://download.vb-audio.com/Download_CABLE/VBCABLE_Driver_Pack43.zip
Extract all files and Run Setup Program in administrator mode. Reboot after installation.

2.Install Python. Choose the suitable version for your Windows.
https://www.python.org/downloads/
(the latest working version for WinXP is 3.4.3).

3.Add Python, PIP to system PATH.
PIP is the package installer for Python.
Checking if PIP is added to your PATH variable
Let’s start by finding out where we stand. If you don’t know if your PIP installation is added to your PATH variable, you can find it out easily by using a certain command at a CMD prompt.
Knowing this will point you in the right direction and save you from trying out unnecessary steps.
Note. If you already know if the path of your PIP installation is added to your PATH variable, move down.
Here’s a quick guide on checking if the PIP installation is already in your PATH variable:
Type pip --version and press Enter.
OR
Press Windows key + R to open up a Run dialog box. Then, type “cmd” and press Enter to open up Command Prompt.
Inside the command prompt window, type echo %PATH% and press Enter to get a listing with all locations added to the PATH variable.
If you manage to find a path similar to C:\Python34\Scripts (the number depends on your Python version), it means that the installation path is already added to your PATH variable.
If you weren’t able to find the PIP installation path using the test above, move down to the next methods below to add PIP to the PATH environment variable.

Adding PIP to the PATH environment variable using the Windows GUI
If you revealed that the PIP installation is not set to the PATH as an environment variable and you already installed the Python distribution, you’ll need to do it manually.
After completing the procedure below, you will be able to input PIP commands from a Command Prompt window. Here’s a quick guide on Adding the PiP installation to the Path environment variable using the Windows GUI:
Press Windows key + R to open up a Run dialog box. Then, type “sysdm.cpl” and press Enter to open up the System Properties screen.

Inside the System Properties screen, go to the Advanced tab, then click on Environment Variables.
In the Environment Variables screen, go to System variables and click on Path to select it. Then with the Path selected, click the Edit… button.
In the Edit environment variable screen, add the path where the PiP installation is located. For Python 3.4, the default location is C:\Python34\Scripts.
Type it in the form
C:\Python34\Scripts;

4.Update PIP.
It's necessary if you have old Windows.
Type in cmd
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
(use the next command for WinXP pip3 install --upgrade pip==19.1.1)

5.Install a speech recognition toolkit Vosk.
Type the next command in cmd.
pip install vosk
or
pip3 install vosk
(https://alphacephei.com/vosk/install)
Install sounddevice
pip install sounddevice

6.Clone vosk-api and vosk-model.
Download and extract vosk-api.
https://easy-english-study.com/vosk-api-0.3.38.zip
Download and extract vosk-model.
https://alphacephei.com/kaldi/models/vosk-model-small-en-us-0.15.zip
Go to the folder where you extracted vosk-api, go to the subdirectory vosk-api/python/example, and copy an extracted vosk-model to there.
For example if your vosk-api located in C:\vosk-api-0.3.38 then copy an extracted vosk-model vosk-model-small-en-us-0.15 to C:\vosk-api-0.3.38\python\example
Rename the folder vosk-model-small-en-us-0.15 to model.

7.Run a speech recognition program.
Now you can open cmd and navigate to the subfolder vosk-api/python/example. In our example it's cd C:\vosk-api-0.3.38\python\example and type python test_microphone.py
I recommend you to create a .bat file to run the program with one click.
Use the next method to do it.
1.Create a .txt file in vosk-api/python/example, give it a name speech-to-text.
2.Open the file in Notepad. Add the next command to the text field
python test_microphone.py
3.Click File -> Save as
In the menu File type choose All files. Now add an extension .bat to the file name.
speech-to-text.bat
Save it as speech-to-text.bat
You can download a ready-made file, extract and copy it to vosk-api/python/example.
speech-to-text.zip
4.Run it whenever you need speech recognition. Create a shortcut of the program and copy it to your desktop.

8.Change settings for Speaker and Microphone.
Right-Click on the volume icon and click Open Sound Settings.
Choose "VoiceMeeter vaio" for Speaker and Microphone.

9.Set two outputs in VoiceMeeter.
You have to keep VoiceMeeter opened whenever you want to have two outputs.
C:\Program Files\VB\Voicemeeter\voicemeeter.exe
Find a menu HARDWARE OUT. Click A1 and choose VB-Audio point. Click A2 and choose your Speaker (HD Audio rear output).

Now we have two outputs. One is for virtual cable which restream a sound from Speaker to Microphone. Another one is for our everyday Speaker

10.Listen to any audio content.
Listen/watch everything what you like from videos on your hard disk to online YouTube clips in English.
The program will convert speech into text.

Three men in a boat
http://forum.easy-english-study.com/three-men-in-a-boat

admin

	The nights are very cold, and there being nothing but gratings in the windows, the men were obliged to walk the whole night long to keep from freezing, and if they can meet with the friendly embrace of slumber at all,	الليالي شديدة البرودة ، ولم يكن هناك سوى حواجز شبكية في النوافذ ، اضطر الرجال إلى المشي طوال الليل حتى لا يتجمدوا ، وإذا استطاعوا أن يجتمعوا مع عناق ودود للنوم على الإطلاق ،
	it was during the day when the sun would shed its kindly beams upon us and so impart sufficient warmth to our bodies to keep us from shivering.	كان ذلك في النهار عندما تنثر الشمس أشعتها اللطيفة علينا وتضفي الدفء الكافي على أجسادنا لمنعنا من الارتعاش.

	Thousands who have been in Libby will rehearse the story of their misery, want and woe to others; so that the echo will scarcely die out at the remotest period of the present generation.	الآلاف من الذين كانوا في ليبي تتكرر قصص مأساتهم , وعوزهم وويلهم للآخرين ؛ بحيث نادرا ما يموت الاثر في أبعد فترة من الجيل الحالي.
	Households in coming time will gather about the fireside and talk of their friends and ancestors who ended their days in so much wretchedness because of their attachment to the Union.	ستجتمع الأسر في المستقبل حول المدفأة وتتحدث عن أصدقائها وأجدادهم الذين أنهوا أيامهم في بؤس شديد بسبب ارتباطهم بالاتحاد.
	As their bravery, heroism and constancy are admired, so will it be with condemnation of malice and fury their persecutors	كما تحظى شجاعتهم وبطولاتهم وثباتهم بالإعجاب ، كذلك مع إدانة الحقد والغضب من مضطهديهم.
	It may be, and probably is, one of the essentials of war	قد يكون ، وعلي الارجح ، أحد أساسيات الحرب.

	18th. 400 of us were removed this morning to Libby, weak and hungry.	400 منا تم نقلهم هذا الصباح إلى libby ضعفاء وجوعي.
	The very name of LIBBY has became synonymous of terror.	أصبح اسم LIBBY ذاته مرادفًا للإرهاب.
	It carries tyranny and oppression in its simple sound	إنها تحمل الاستبداد والظلم كما يبدو ببساطة
	The soldier who is taken prisoner in Virginia vale is at once haunted with visions of this darksome den and shrinks from entering a place so full of bitter experiences as this is known to be.	الجندي الذي تم أسره في وادي فيرجينيا عدما ما طارد خياله في وكر الظلام وانكمش من دخول مكان مليئ بالقساوه العنيفة كما هو معروف.
	Fierce hate and revenge reign supreme here,	الكراهية العنيفة والانتقام يسيطران بخطوره هنا
	and consequently there is a system of discipline which produces a condition such as we might expect when the discordant elements of beings rage unchecked,	وبناء علي ذلك هناك نظام من الانضباط ينتج حالة مثل التي قد نتوقعها عندما تغضب تتعارض المبادئ بحده من الكائنات بشكل غير صحيح.
	and we are not surprised to find the culmination reached in almost fiendish expression	ونحن لا نستغرب أن نجد التكبد الذي وصلنا إليه في تعبير شبه شيطاني
