I love this so much!!

️so cute

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 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.

Wholesome.

Oh really. Does it have that feature on PC?

My partner is deaf and would absolutely love this.

Is death (one of) the most inclusive thing?

Elsewhere in the thread they updated to say they found out the game is actually Grounded on Xbox

So the game does real time speech to text? Sweet.

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.

Yes, Ground does. Obsidian put quite a few accessibility features.

I found out that No Man's Sky does speech to text by accident while playing with my wife while on a work trip.

Grounded, as others have said. Incredibly well made and fun game, highly recommend it

As someone who has spent too much time fixing documents for screen readers, this makes me happy.

I would appreciate it even as someone who's not hard of hearing (yet). I prefer subtitles at all times when possible.

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.

So far, I still wasn't enamored with the auto-generated subtitles for that, because it'll occasionally choose the wrong word, which is then worse for me than just hearing the unclear speech myself.

But yeah, we'll have to see how technology advances. I assume, LLMs can guess the correct word based on sentence structure, so there's probably still a good bit of room for improvement.
Colleagues have also been working on some speech-controlled UI and they do report huge differences in how different models can deal with bad audio quality, so that seems like things are going forward, too.
