Answer 1

Have you seen CMU Sphinx ?

Particularly, pocket sphinx (written in C)

While more recognition oriented, it's been used for transcription before, so it will depend on what exactly you need:

Further, have you considered a non-native/local API, i.e. a web service you could call with your voice data, or are you adamant about a native library/API ?

For example, Ribbit has a platform for these sorts of things, and does support transcribing voice to text

"How do I enable voice-to-text transcriptions? Available as a paid service, voice-to-text transcriptions are automatically available through the Ribbit API. Please use the $25 Free signup credit to try the service."
