Without broadcasting voice to others, allow for the option of speech to be translated into text. Sometimes peoples typing skills are not that good and it's better for them to have their voice translated. This would prevent users from talking over each other and allow players to play sound FX/Music without having to talk over it.

It's a great idea, but most operating systems have this ability built-in already in some form or another. In Windows 7, for example, you can find it under START / ALL PROGRAMS / ACCESSORIES / EASE OF USE / SPEECH RECOGNITION

Ah, I have a Mac so I didn't know that. A little bit of research shows that for Mac users you need Yosemite (Mac OS X 10.10) for built-in dictation. I'm still on Lion so I didn't realize that, thanks!
