I do not know if it is designed to transcribe from a recording. Dragon does all of that. If you want a more accurate, less frustrating experience, get dragon. You can use it for 30 days & if it doesn't suit your needs for any reason, you can get a refund. Nuance also sells a very reliable portable recorder which can serve two purposes: make an audio recording of a lecture or meeting, or transcribe YOUR voice into text. It is not synchronus. You physically have to take the recorder back to the computer where you've got Dragon installed, plug I have the cable & transcribe to text. Message me directly for more info. I'm proficient in speech to text and do lots if training on Dragon. I am disappointed in the quality of the MS speech to text engine. Impressed with the improvements Nuance has made. Will be happy to help.
