Self voicing on Steam Deck

#1 Post by Kinmoku »

Hi all,

I noticed whilst testing on Steam Deck that self voicing no longer works. I've updated to 7.6.3 but the problem still persists. Is this a known issue? I'd like to include this feature on Steam Deck if possible.

IIRC steamOS does not include any kind of narrator, it had a lot of complaints about lacking in accessability.

Ah, that makes sense, though it's a shame.

I'd suggest asking Valve to include espeak or a similar tts system as part of SteamOS.
