The SuperWhisper app is great, if you use a Mac.

I checked that one out. The one that Reddit recommended was Voice Type. It's completely offline and a one-time charge:

The developer is pretty cool too. I found a few bugs here and there and reported them. He responds pretty much immediately.

There is also MacWhisper which works very well. I've been using it for several months now.

I highly recommend getting a good microphone, I use a Rode smartlav. It makes a huge difference.
