By speech to text, I assume you mean speech recognition, which is much
harder than text to speech.

The only free software that I know of is the Sphinx series of software.
Sphinx 2 is in Debian.

I've never used it, though, so I can't say how good or bad it is.

Package: sphinx2-bin
Description: speech recognition utilities
 Sphinx 2 is a real-time, speaker-independent speech recognition system.
 .
 This package contains examples and utilities that use Sphinx. It also
 includes a sample language model that is capable of recognizing simple
 commands like "go forward ten meters" and other commands one might use to
 tell a robot where to move.
