Text transcription/live captioning on voice chat
Text transcription is when you're taking speech and converting it into text (like closed captions, but live). There are several third-party services that could probably work with Discord, but most of them are either a hassle to setup or cost money (putting most disabled users at a disadvantage). It would be amazing if Discord implemented their own version of this to benefit those with hearing loss (like me!) or don't have a headphone and need to join in a voice chat without disturbing their surrounding environment. Also, seeing that Discord has a text-to-speech feature (/tts <message>), I think this is something that the developers can easily do.
Now, for the GUI part, there should be a new button along with the others in the call GUI. The chat could appear as a "pop-out" window and would probably look similar to a regular text chat, but without the option to type in that window. Here's a possible concept (next to the red button):
Additionally, some settings in the Voice & Video would be nice.
I apologize in advance if this was posted to the wrong section, but I felt that it was more of an accessibility feature than a voice chat thing.
TOO LONG DIDN'T READ (TLDR); Live closed captioning on voice chat so I can join in and read what people are saying

As a deaf individual myself, I would love this feature to be added. For the meantime I did find a workaround to get a similar effect, which I believe is too complex for some.

I'm deaf even, and I like the idea for communicating with others while being on discord but not for doing other things the same time like gaming. Because I just cannot read text chat (on one monitor or switch between windows) AND playing a game with others at the same time, or at least I can't... (i tried with paid plugins on discord)
Better would be if there was a plugin for sign language, like I use for years over Team Speak.

I really need this. I've tried setting up complicated VB Cable audio routing to WebCaptioner.com and it's just a mess, so a built-in solution would be amazing.

I'm not sure if it works in Electron applications but Google has added the Web Speech Javascript API to Chrome which would make this a breeze to implement client-side. The developers at Discord have no excuse to not be working on this right now.

I definitely agree this is needed
As a profoundly hard of hearing person I cannot use discord currently4 -
Hard of Hearing user, here. This is sorely needed.
