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…
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.
Obsidian being owned by microsoft just breaks my fucking heart.
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.
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 :)
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.
As someone who has spent too much time fixing documents for screen readers, this makes me happy.
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.
☺️so cute
Is death (one of) the most inclusive thing?
Wholesome.
