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.
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.Yeah, I’ve seen that from YouTube’s auto-generated subtitles. If it’s having a really hard time understanding someone I also prefer having it off, but I’m okay with a few mistakes here and there.
It’s great that YouTube offers subtitles and I believe they’re better than no subtitles in most cases, but man do they suck in many cases.
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.
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.
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…
Is death (one of) the most inclusive thing?
Well if you’re going to get eaten by a giant spider, I guess that’s the best way for it to happen.
As someone who has spent too much time fixing documents for screen readers, this makes me happy.
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 🥹
Wholesome.
