Listen and Write is a site which offers spoken texts at various levels, many of them from VOA Special English, so they are very clear and don’t use much difficult vocabulary. You select a text and listen to it. At any time, you can start typing what you hear in the box. The program checks each word individually, and it won’t let you proceed if the word is not correct. There is a “Hint” button, but when I tried it out, it didn’t just give me a hint; it provided the whole word. Therefore, before you hit the “Hint” button, give it your best shot–what have you got to lose?
