Here's another thought:

One of the complaints about speech to text is that it has errors. I've seen CC on TV and the same is true.
However, I've attended thousands of classes, lectures and meeting with perfect hearing and certainly don't catch every word. I couldn't find a good study of what percentage of a lecture people with normal hearing actually hear, but most studies show that only 10% of the info is retained, so the comprehension after a week or so is low, FOR EVERBODY. Wouldn't it be a kick in the pants if it turned out that speech to text, errors and all, conveyed a higher percentage of info than the normal person hears????
