Kat,
If I have understood your request correctly what you need is voice recognition software. The best package I know (although it is a long time since I used it) is Dragon NaturallySpeaking. I've not seen voice recognition software used to transfer a voice recording but it would be interesting to try it. If it is an interview that usually means two voices which might upset it (it's normal to train the software to your voice) but I would still give it a try.
