Halo Wars 2 gets chat-to-text, text-to-chat transcription

Halo Wars 2 now supports chat-to-text transcription, Microsoft has advised.

The feature works in both directions:

  • Speech-to-text provides the ability to convert all player’s voice communications in the game chat into text, so the player using this feature can read the text on their screen in real-time.
  • Text-to-speech provides the ability for players using this feature to have their typed text spoken aloud to other players in the game.

Called Game Chat Transcription, Microsoft said it plans to roll the feature out to more games in the future.

To activate the feature on either Xbox One or a Windows 10 PC, head to Settings > All settings > Ease of Access > Game Chat Transcription and select your desired feature.

Halo Wars 2 is an Xbox Play Anywhere title across both platforms. We reviewed it here.
