Increase the legibility of chat text by enlarging its size by up to 200%. You may select from one of three text size options for the expanded chat interface. This can be adjusted from the Chat tab of the Settings menu. In the future, we hope to expand this feature to allow you to adjust the size of text in the chat preview window on the main game screen.
Unable to join voice chat? No problem! Use Voice Chat Transcription to convert Party voice chat into written text. A Voice Chat Transcription control has been added alongside Party voice chat controls, allowing you to toggle the feature on and off as desired while in a Party.
Once enabled, the Text-to-Speech feature will narrate incoming chat messages aloud with a synthetic voice based on the chat channels you have enabled. The feature boasts additional customization options to adjust narrations to your needs:
Text-to-Speech will be supported in select languages at launch.
Most modern phones include built-in speech-to-text functionality with their platform keyboards. We wanted to provide this same convenience to our PC players. This feature can be enabled from the Chat tab of the Settings menu. Once enabled, a Speech-to-Text button will appear in the chat window, allowing you to convert your spoken words into editable text before sending to the desired chat channel.
Auditory cues have been included to help notify you of important social moments in the game. This includes cues for receiving messages from other players, receiving Party or Raid invites, controlling voice chat and sending voice memos–just to name a few. The volume of these cues can be adjusted in the General tab of the Settings menu.
