Indian accent recognition has got a lot better, give it a try. Voice
recognition works well when there is one person dictating at a reasonable
pace. But in natural conversations, when people are speaking over each
other and interrupting each other, it doesn't work that well.

Rather than using Google doc's speech-to-text dictation as a way of getting
a transcript of what was said by people in a meeting, a better approach
might be some sort of accessibility setting in Android that does real-time
voice to text transcripts (and is also capable of identifying once voice
from another - so it shows dialog, instead of a wall of text).
