Accessibly for deaf

OP YOU DON"T ANY VOICE CHAT SOFTWARE TO PLAY THIS GAME. That is stupid FC obligation crap. I did bahamut coil turn 1 and 2 without any voice chat.

Since there is no voice-chat function built into FFXIV itself, I doubt SE would see fit to include information concerning a players ability or inability to use it.

However, you can add a note to your own search information stating the fact if you wish - though personally I don't believe you have to provide any reason after stating that you're unable to join voice chat. The reason is irrelevant.

I have a friend who is hard of hearing and one of the things that drew them to RPGs was the plethora of text-based content/info so they didn't feel "left out". Adding in your search comment that you do not do voice chat (I don't do voice either). If they give you any shit about it, just tell the d-bag to f-off and go find a better group (hopefully you have found a fun and productive FC). Remember, it's your game. You play how ever the hell you want to!

You can type "/searchcomment" sans quotation and type up to 60 characters to enter your personal search comments. Or do as Umo instructed.

It's great... until you realize it'll just get the player in question ostracized immediately from most groups.

Yeah...that's the only downside that came to mind and mentioned it in my post, which is sad to see...but that's how people are on the internet..especially in an MMO, there are very few people who are really nice and don't mind bringing these players into their groups but yeah they are rare and far between.

This is how i personally feel about it, I myself am hard of hearing and prefer to type than use voice chat, although i do use hearing aids its not as bad where voice chat is not an option, i just prefer not to, only time i use voice chat is with my fellow FC mates and friends which isn't bad for me...i just have to manually turn up each individuals sound a bit in ventrilo.

Yeah but are you kinda sick of typing same thing every time you join coil team?

I really don't have a choice. I can't grow my hearing back.

Though, technically, I can communicate my own thoughts. I lost my hearing in an explosion as an adult. So I learned how to talk. I just can't hear others. I'm learning how to read lips, and know sign, but none of that helps in game. I need others to type their thoughts. I can talk to them, but can't hear them talk to me.

That may be an annoyance for others, having to type just for me. I can appreciate that, and feel for them. But it could be worse. You could be deaf.

I used to be in a guild with someone that was deaf. She used Dragon NaturallySpeaking or something for listening to voice chat, although she had to mute everyone except the raid leaders to avoid confusion from random chatter.

Question: Is there any software out there that will turn TeamSpeak chat into words and identify the user's who are speaking?
