Advertisements will (and are currently) already be transcribed and just 
spliced into the stream, no?

For live transcription I'm not convinced the delay would be unworkable. 
How much does the steganographer introduce? There will be some encoding 
delay too, a clever encoder could take advantage of that by inserting 
the text at the very last minute.

 From the point of view of theora, the issue is mostly designing 
something that can decode parts of a line at a time but be robust 
against packet loss. Complicates things somewhat.
