Speech to text has never achieved the same degree of clarity as closed captioning to avoid confusing text. Just think how confused your Siri gets when you try to talk to her in the car with the radio going, for instance. She can't distinguish between you and the radio very well. I can see how speech to text did not work well in the classroom.

If they ever really brought the quality and accuracy of speech to text up to par, many closed captioners would be out of a job.
