I am planning to conduct a study where the verbal responses of the participants will be recorded while sitting and also while standing. I want to use software that can precisely record the responses (i.e. converting speech to text) along with the reaction time of the responses or it can at least give accurate timestamps of the responses. Please suggest any reliable software or platform that can be used for this purpose.
I think PsychoPy would be good for that purpose. I have not used it for recording voice. But if interested you may check two functions in Psychopy that would allow collecting vocal RT, that are psychopy.microphone (this one may not give you the exact RT, but enables recording and then you can compute RT offline) and psychopy.voicekey.
You may also use opensesame (https://osdoc.cogsci.nl/). They have a voice recorder plugin you can install separately. In this case also RT has to be computed offline using the waveform in the audiofile.
If you intend to use a paid software, then E-Prime would be helpful when used with Chronos and microphone.
E-Prime can record voice after each stimuli and keep it as separate recordings and it can get response times from the start of vocal responses.
You can use AudioInRecord Task Event, but have a look at their webinar on this topic for more information.

I don't think it can automatically convert the recording to text though.
