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).
