Although this isn't a perfect solution we use the closed caption option on Powerpoint (can be found slide show tab then select always use subtitles) i believe this only works with office 365 but not 100%.  It then shows the captioning for the speaker who is sharing their screen, it its multiple speakers it doesn't work so good and  obviously no good if your not sharing powerpoint.   

 

The problem we have it is either on or off for delegates and some find it very distracting.  We are also looking at other options as its a much needed function.
