Wow. This is cool.
Based on what I see in web conferencing software, and transcription model progression, this should just be a base feature of the next generation of consoles, and it should run locally.
I would appreciate it even as someone who’s not hard of hearing (yet). I prefer subtitles at all times when possible.
I love this so much!!
Do we know what game?
The only game that comes to my mind with spiders, and voice to chat features, is Minecraft.
Edit: looks like Grounded on Xbox.
Oh awesome :p that makes sense, I played way way back in the day I didn’t know they implemented that
I edited my comment. But it looks like Grounded on Xbox according to Reddit.
Oh really. Does it have that feature on PC?
My partner is deaf and would absolutely love this.
Yes, Ground does. Obsidian put quite a few accessibility features.
Elsewhere in the thread they updated to say they found out the game is actually Grounded on Xbox :)
What a neat looking game that I wound up never hearing about. Just added it to the ol steam wishlist. G2 is now in early access as of a few days ago, but I guess it’s optimized terribly at the moment.
Obsidian being owned by microsoft just breaks my fucking heart.
Grounded, as others have said. Incredibly well made and fun game, highly recommend it
I found out that No Man’s Sky does speech to text by accident while playing with my wife while on a work trip.
So the game does real time speech to text? Sweet.
Realtime speech to text has been around for a while now, like nearly 2 decades, but it’s gone from doctors using it…and wanting to murder those of us who supported it, tooooo holy crap that didn’t take a few days to learn your voice and it’s figured it out locally and quickly. I’m surprised though that it’s not a standard feature in games now, as the tech is pretty basic at this point and requires very little resources to do it’s thing.
Yeah, I also think it might as well be a standard feature these days, but honestly I have no idea how often in-game voice chat is used. Personally, if I’m playing anything online it’s only with my friends and we’d be on a Discord voice call. So the game really isn’t in the loop there. But obviously this isn’t the case described here.
As someone who has spent too much time fixing documents for screen readers, this makes me happy.
Well if you’re going to get eaten by a giant spider, I guess that’s the best way for it to happen.
Is this guerrilla advertising for Grounded 2 that was just released?
I wouldn’t have known what game they’re talking about unless I read your comment (it was first).
So maybe? Unless you are guerilla advertising for the Grounded 2?
When I posted, someone else had already identified it and I looked it up to discover the recent release.
But, I could definitely be a guerilla…
☺️so cute
This is so wholesome; I love accessibility features. It’s usually difficult for me to focus on dialogues in games without subtitles; seeing a chat transcription would be SO helpful to me even though I am not deaf. It should be a standard feature in modern gaming.
For the last several years, for some reason I started experiencing motion sickness, which extends to videogames too. I was so happy when I played World of Warcraft recently, and I noticed that they added anti-motion sickness features for people like me 🥹
Is death (one of) the most inclusive thing?
Wholesome.
