In a word, no.

You'd need a third-party program such as Nuance's Dragon Naturally Speaking
to convert the audio to text. There is nothing in Office that's capable of
this conversion.

Then you could (with or without a macro) use Word's document comparison
feature to compare the two text documents. Since speech recognition
technology is good but not perfect, you would need a human to decide whether
any differences between the texts were due to mistakes by the speech
recognition or mistakes in the original document.
