What is the best voice to text software for Windows 11/10 PC?

If you want to use the command line method to implement speech to text tool, it is recommended to try Microsoft's built-in PowerShell command (built-in Windows, no third-party tools are required):

Method 1: Windows built-in PowerShell SpeechRecognizer
Open PowerShell and enter:

powershell
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Speech
$recognizer = New-Object System.Speech.Recognition.SpeechRecognitionEngine
$recognizer.SetInputToDefaultAudioDevice()
$grammar = [System.Speech.Recognition.DictationGrammar]::new()
$recognizer.LoadGrammar($grammar)

Write-Host "Start speech recognition, please speak..."
$result = $recognizer.Recognize()
Write-Host "Recognition result:" $result.Text

Advantages: Purely built-in, no need to connect to the Internet, safe and fast.
Disadvantages: Average recognition accuracy, average Chinese effect, relatively good English

Method 2: PowerShell + Azure Cloud Speech API (Internet connection required)
Use the online speech recognition API provided by Microsoft Azure:

powershell
Invoke-RestMethod `
-Uri "https://<region>.stt.speech.microsoft.com/speech/recognition/conversation/cognitiveservices/v1?language=zh-CN" `
-Headers @{ "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key" = "<your API key>"; "Content-Type" = "audio/wav" } `
-Method POST `
-InFile "audio.wav"

Advantages: high recognition accuracy, support for multiple languages.
Disadvantages: Internet connection required, need to apply for Azure API key.

The above two solutions are simple and practical command line speech to text methods under Windows system, suitable for people who like to tinker or develop automated processes.
