I need to quickly convert a course that is currently a live, instructor-led webinar to an interactive elearning course. I have a recording of a recent session.
To capture the presentation content beyond what's on the slides, I'd like to convert the audio file to text.
There are many voice to text software on the marketplace. Before you begin, I would advise the following:
1. listen to the entire recording first
2. create a simple Word table doc and start to place what you heard from the recording and the actions/interaction. Jot them into the Word doc starting at the beginning - note the pace
3. note where the facilitator told a story, joke, made some references that you might mimic or include
4. note the questions asked and the answers - do you have access to the chat
5. determine what you will do that is different than the classroom and how you can create a better design and approach. Do not replicate what you hear.
6. Good webinars are dependent upon the facilitator and their style. You can't capture that.

I've used TranscribeMe or Rev for transcripts. Fast and fairly inexpensive.

If you are lucky enough to have Camtasia, it has a feature for creating text from an audio file.
If your company has MS Stream it also creates a text file of the audio when you upload the video.
