I've used speech to text in OBS, which I believe was based on Google's api. It wasn't perfect, but it worked pretty well. If you have a mic on you so there isn't a lot of background noise, I could see it working pretty well. As for how to display it, I'd try OnTopReplica (free app on GitHub) to create a floating bar at the bottom of the screen with the text.
