Speech to text could never keep up with that many different voices, as there aren't even programs yet that are reliable enough to do more than one voice at a time.
Here, educate yourself.

Television and video
For live programs, spoken words comprising the television program's soundtrack are transcribed by a human operator (a speech-to-text reporter) using stenotype or stenomask type of machines, whose phonetic output is instantly translated into text by a computer and displayed on the screen. This technique was developed in the 1970s as an initiative of the BBC's Ceefax teletext service.[19] In collaboration with the BBC, a university student took on the research project of writing the first phonetics-to-text conversion program for this purpose.
Sometimes, the captions of live broadcasts, like news bulletins, sports events, live entertainment shows, and other live shows, fall behind by a few seconds. This delay is because the machine does not know what the person is going to say next, so after the person on the show says the sentence, the captions appear.[20]

However, the particular CNN program I alluded to is not all that relevant. The point is that today's speech to text software works reasonably well.
