Translate voice memo to text app?

Anyone know of an app that can translate a voice memo to a text file (speech recognition, likely a Mac app, not iPhone app)? I'm aware of Jott, but it only handles 15 second recordings...

iPhone 3GS, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Wow, Dragon works remarkably --- but it only records 30 seconds max. Any apps out there (iPhone or Mac based) that can handle longer recordings, like at least several minutes?

I'm amazed at how accurate Dragon can be.

I record it. copy to clipboard. open text and double tap to paste, then edit any mistakes and sent. It's quicker than using the keyboard.

It would be better if the text feature had dragon built in though.

Yeah, Dragon's translation is incredible. I wish they'd make an app that would import mp3s or voice memos, etc. and use the same algorithms to translate those longer files. The 30 seconds recording limitation is a major bummer...
