Difficulty with an English voice file
Hello guys,
My English teacher has given us two .MP3 files. They are small stories (about something like shadows against the darker shadow) in English language. We should first write a summary about that then translate the whole text into our native language. It is an exercise!
If it was a text I could write a brief text about it and also translate it into our native language immediately. But the problem is that since the speed of the English-language narrator man is very quick I can't completely understand what he says.
I tried to find some apps to convert voice to text and installed some of them but no one worked properly!
Is there any idea how to convert those .MP3 English files to text?
It's an emergency and I'll be very thankful if someone can help me

If the narrator is speaking too fast, I would try slowing down the playback, or playing difficult segments over and over. There are programs to do this. It only works to a point, though, because the pitch will change.

The difficulty is that I can't understand it completely. For example in a sentence with 10 words I understand 5 or 6 but not the remaining 4 or 5. If I could get the text of the story the problem would be solved. By so much hard attempt I could derive the following sentences:
"Tow men strode hurriedly o the black of the outdoor(y) at night. Shadows against the darker shadow of brushed
"Tow men strode hurriedly o the black of the outdoor(y) at night. Shadows against the darker shadow of brushed

khoshtipExcuse me, which part of the text is there on that website please?I can see the start, and then quite a few small pages, and then it runs out. Something has gone slightly wrong with the display of page breaks, and some of the text is cut off.

Here is a start. You missed many words, but it is very advanced English.
Two men strode hurriedly through the black of the Aldorian night, shadows against the darker shadow of brush along the edge of the field. Beyond them, against the stars, loomed the foothills of the Balkan spur known as Bauchist Range. A sweet tang of spring drifted on the wind they clove, belied by the sharp chill of
