If this worked well for closed captioning (I worked in the editing end of that field), it would have taken over a long time ago, as offline closed captioning (where the show is captioned in advance and sent back to the network--called pop-up as opposed to real time captioning that you see on news broadcasts) is very expensive. It took a ton of lobbying to get captioning to be required by law. If it weren't, none of the networks would have ever started doing it.
