Communicating with our masked and face-shielded coworkers during this current pandemic is difficult, as the various protective layers muffle the voice.

Voice recognition technology translates the spoken word into a scrolling text similar to that at the bottom of television news broadcasts and displays it on the face shield.

       This is brilliant. Obviously, it would need a microphone inside the (inner-most) face-mask; or REALLY good voice- recognition software...

       Daft Punk springs to mind.   

       Daft Punk had one of these?

       ^My guess is lighting effects only. Text would be too hard to read from the synthing crowd.

       Well the lettering scrolls sideways and I don't think it is speech-to-text but, yup.   

       I didn't factor in the honking great video wall behind the stage.
