Shameless plug: check out Tropo[1]: you can interface with SIP.

One thing to keep in mind regarding speech to text: if you need accuracy, it helps immensely if you can guide the recognizer with a list of expected answers. Un-hinted transcription will do its best to recognize words but without AI to understand the context, there are still quite a few possibilities for mis-recognition. More info about these two here[2].

I've never tried it myself as an api but a quick poke around the googles throws this out https://cloud.google.com/speech/

Shoot - I'd love an API you pass in txt in one language and get multiple languages back in txt and speech.

Amazon Lex and Google's GCE offer this.
