If you are not wanting to use async you can add .Result to force the code to execute synchronously:

private string GetResponseString(string text)
{
    var httpClient = new HttpClient();

    var parameters = new Dictionary();
    parameters["text"] = text;

    var response = httpClient.PostAsync(BaseUri, new FormUrlEncodedContent(parameters)).Result;
    var contents = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;

    return contents;
 }
