Video Game Communications Now Subject to U.S. Accessibility Law

New or heavily updated games must make their voice and text chat more accessible for disabled gamers under the law.

 

Look for voice to text chat features coming soon for new videos coming out in 2019, giving disabled people greater access to modern communications like voice chat, text chat, and video chat.

 

This means blind people will now be able to text in game and people that are quadriplegic and people with no hands.

With in game voip, why have a need to voice to text in game?

In my life, I have only ever know 1 person that might benefit from this. His name is QUADSKILLS and he is a quadriplegic. He plays Ghost Recon Wildlands PVP mode Ghost War.

After several years of exemptions, now video games fall under the latest US accessibility law, which covers communications.
