are there free 'speech to text' programs for mac?

[bobbybellpepper]

that is what I'd like to know.

They come built-in on your mac as "Accessibility Options"!

@natobasso: maybe you should try to read the headline again...

As far as I know there are no free applications, though a few open source projects are still active (ISIP, Julius, HTK and Sphinx to name a few).

MacSpeech is probably the best available application right now, but it's $199...
