How to convert mp3 audio files to text with MacBook Pro?

Sep 11, 2015 2:43PM PDT

MacBook Pro can easily produce text by using built-in microphone. How can I take stored mp3 audio voice files and create text in a word processor?

Thanks much for taking the time to respond. Seems like such a process would be of common help to anyone who might want to take public spoken presentations and turn them into documents, book chapters, articles, etc. (authors, ministers, etc.). So obscure a process, but it worked. Was a little concerned that Soundflower doesn't look too "safe" to download, but I had tried about everything else.
