Text transcription/live captioning on voice chat

Pear
  • 編輯於

Text transcription is when you're taking speech and converting it into text (like closed captions, but live). There are several third-party services that could probably work with Discord, but most of them are either a hassle to setup or cost money (putting most disabled users at a disadvantage). It would be amazing if Discord implemented their own version of this to benefit those with hearing loss (like me!) or don't have a headphone and need to join in a voice chat without disturbing their surrounding environment. Also, seeing that Discord has a text-to-speech feature (/tts <message>), I think this is something that the developers can easily do.

Now, for the GUI part, there should be a new button along with the others in the call GUI. The chat could appear as a "pop-out" window and would probably look similar to a regular text chat, but without the option to type in that window. Here's a possible concept (next to the red button):

Additionally, some settings in the Voice & Video would be nice.

I apologize in advance if this was posted to the wrong section, but I felt that it was more of an accessibility feature than a voice chat thing.

TOO LONG DIDN'T READ (TLDR); Live closed captioning on voice chat so I can join in and read what people are saying

    I don't have a clue why you would have to ask Discord for this. This should have been implemented from the beginning of time, even people with bad headphones or don't even have headphones could benefit from this. There is no reason anyone should not support this.

    I am very sorry to hear that my feature request was "fake news". Unfortunately, the world does not revolve around you and other people have other needs. Next time, I recommend being considerate of others and understand how they may be affected by a disability.
