You could probably feed I put from an audio interface into a product like dragon naturally speaking.  If memory serves that’s a much more real-time transcription software.  The problem may come in feeding it audio from multiple voices that it hasn’t been trained on in a less than ideal environment.

Dragon is more an app.  would you have Internet access?  Amazon Polly works pretty well.  https://aws.amazon.com/polly/ 

I have not played with Google https://cloud.google.com/speech-to-text/

The cloud based services are much more powerful than a single PC could be.

I'd imagine if I was waiting for "House to half" I could figure out "How's to Have?" on the screen.

google keep is a free app which offers a speech to text function and the corresponding transcription can be sent as a note to other users. Ive messed around with both it and the web browser version and the web one worked a lot better than mobile on that particular day.

sending the keep notes is probably not as user friendly to quickly communicate to foh, but might work

With the API's on the Amazon and the Google service you could hack a little bit of code (Python is as easy as BASIC was for our generation).  Grab the audio from the input, send it to the cloud and shove the results into the XMPP server for display in the chat app.  https://realpython.com/python-speech-recognition/

Apple iChat used to connect across the LAN without going overseas. There are loads of other LAN chat applications, here's a simple one. . .

While we are on the subject is there a simple messaging setup that can be used without an internet connection. Basically an instant messenger on a closed network.

Thanks Tim.
Simple. Just what I needed.

I did read up on xmpp servers and it seems like a fairly easy process. This will be a stepping stone on the way to building the pi and making a server...one day.

Is there one out there that supports all platforms (MacOS/Windows/Linux/iOS/Android)

Lets think about this for a minute.  Speech to text is often ridiculously bad even when used in good acoustic environments with little or no competing noise let alone competing speech.  More often than not the person transmitting information is in the same acoustic environment as the show meaning crowd noise, loud music and probably worst of all for S to T applications competing speech from the program.  While I can certainly understand the usefulness of text messaging in its various forms between show tech crew I can't really see sending go messages to talent or video crews via text or calling spot pick ups.

Wow!  I would LOVE this in high noise environments.  ...

Looks like LAN Messenger handles the big 3. I would think you could easily recompile the source code to handle android. iOS is another matter. Maybe ask the developer for help?
