At the server -
My guess is a typist with mad skills and speed, 80 to 100wpm with
accuracy, (certified teletypist?)sending out the text data using AMF, as
it is dictated; however, you could rely on vocal recognition software
that has been trained for a thousand hours, monitoring mic input, and
have a typist filtering what gets outputted in order to correct errors
if needed.
(or spring the cash for the hardware server side to encode it on the fly)
On the client -
Video layers on bottom, text layer on top, displaying the last message
received (or spring the cash for the hardware server side to encode it
on the fly, and not worry about 2 layers)
If you need help, I know sign-language and I am willing to be put in a
floating layer. (Just joking, I don't think you would want me on camera;
although, I really do know the rudiments of sign-language and have used
it to get by)

Subject says it all, really: Is it possible to provide real-time captions of
a web cast when using Flash Media Encoder and Flash Media Server. Either my
Google-foo is completely failing me, I'm asking the wrong questions, or it's
just not done.
You can do this with some Osprey video capture cards. As far as I
know, FMS/FME don't really have anything to do with the captioning
process; you have to inject the caption for live capture at the card,
I think.

And of course, if you can avoid broadcasting in real-time, there are
tools to let you caption FLVs:
