I can only address this question generally. Voice recognition software
(VRS) must be trained, and if you want interviews transcribed by using
VRS the interviewed person should/must train the VRS. This is often not
possible, so what you can do is to listen to the interview by headphones
and read out loud to your VRS. Another solution is not to tanscribe the
text at all but working with the sound files, several software packages
do support this. For more details have a look at
http://www.textanalysis.info in the audio/video section.

Kind regards
