We’re told that work is currently underway for a companion iPhone and Android Transcribe app, which will let users record an interview on their smartphone, and the app will automatically upload.

Dragon Dictation (available in the Mac App Store) can do that, but I don't know whether it understands Italian. The problem you'll encounter is that DD expects sound to reach it through the MBP's microphone (or some other microphone that's plugged into the MBP), and I don't think the MBP can 'listen' to a recording that's being played from its own hard drive. You may have to play the mp3s from an iPod or other device through external speakers and have the MBP's mic 'listen' to that for DD to work. You might also have trouble with the quality of your recordings not being good enough for accurate transcriptions.
I've only used DD myself on short voice messages that I dictate myself directly into my iPod or iPad (I have the iOS version of it, not the Mac OS version).

What about if you need to create subtitles for a movie or want to quickly translate a foreign language video?

Woks Great!
I am disabled and I’ve been looking for this exact technology for at least two years because I can’t type anymore. A lot of these transcriptions don’t work, but this one does. I’ve probably done 60 hours of transcribing audio memos checks and with with very few exceptions it was Word for Word perfect. And when you didn’t get the word right it was because I was mumbling, or what have you. Plus, I asked them if they could donate some time to me because I have no income, and they were kind enough to gift me some free hours, more than a little bit. Support these guys! Besides, the first 15 minutes free, so you have absolutely nothing to loose.
Just what I was hoping for!
This converted my rambling voice memos directly into text for use in a word document. My audio quality was low: I recorded with my iPhone in my lap while driving on the highway so there's lots of background noise. Still, the imperfections in text are all from me stammering. Actually, the app cut out lots of ums and repeated words improving what I said. It still requires editing and correcting - mostly formatting - but really couldnt be improved much at all. This is mature technology. Also, the software interface is top notch, like google or even better. Costs money, about $3/hr for 10 hrs, and its SO worth it. Thanks for devoloping this.
Okay, but no Dragon
I tried this app on a recommendation from a fellow writer. For the test recording I used a Voice Memo recording done in my car. It missed/skipped entire sections randomly.
Thinking it could be the quality of the recording, I paid for one hour and transcribed a dictated piece for my current manuscript. It was recorded using a high-end SpeechWare mic and Voice Record Pro app.
Accuracy improved, yes, but my spoken punctuation was not recognized. Only “period” was used accurately. Open quotes, close quotes, and new line were all ignored, adding a lot of editing time to the transcription. Also, dead air resulted in a period, while I was searching for the right word to use.
Perhaps this program allows for no spoken punctuation except “period”. I don’t know. I could easily re-train myself on how I dictate, but I couldn’t find any suggestions for use on formatting in the app.
For now, I’ll have to stick to the cumbersome Dragon dance (record on one device, upload to Google Drive, download to a PC, run Dragon transcribe (Pro feature), upload transcription to Google Drive again, download to my Mac. All because Dragon has a reduced accuracy on a Mac.
Wish this app had worked better for my needs. Would have saved time immensely!
