Microsoft OneNote had this back in 2007 or so, granted the speech to text model wasn't nearly as advanced as they are now.

I was actually on the OneNote team when they were transitioning to an online only transcription model because there was no one left to maintain the on device legacy system.

It wasn't any sort of planned technical direction, just a lack of anyone wanting to maintain the old system.
