Is there a voice to text program that will work with Fedora Linux as some of my friends have for their smart phones? It would not have to be free to be considered.

I don't know if it will work for your situation, but the festival program can perform text to speech conversion. festival is in the fedora repositories.
Another alternative is called mbrola, but it is distributed in binary form only, and for non commercial use, so you have to get it from their site, as it can't be carried in fedora.

While festival is free, the IBM Cloud (formally bluemix) stt and tts programs do a much better job. I use them on my Asterisk server.
The downside is that you might have to pay for it. Last time I looked there was a free tier but it was limited in the number of characters you could translate. In addition, you might have to script it yourself if you cannot find a script that fits your needs on the internet.
AWS also has an offering but I have never used it.
