It has Text to speech , I've not tried other way round in for a native windows app
i need to dictate a lot of notes i don't want to type up

Dragon is probably your best bet I'd say though it isn't cheap.

Windows does have this built in. It's called Windows Voice Recognition.
You have the spend about 20mins training it, but it works rather well.

If you're using XP I don't know where to find it, but in VISTA and Windows 7 it's under Control Panel> Hardware & Sound> Sound > Recording Tab> Right Click Microphone > Left click configure Speech Recognition

Made my day it works well but it tires my voice, not used to speaking that much.

There's ViaVoice too but I think it got overshadowed by Dragon some years ago. My old company sold both and Dragon was by far the most popular.

I'm not sure anyone can help you with that.
