I always thought I must have a weird voice or something because the text to speech has also never worked well for me. I was playing No Man’s Sky game. Multiplayer game. and talking to another player. And it has an auto voice to text thing that displays on the screen. I guess so people can participate in the conversation via typing. I know they also had tried to make a universal translator for players. Which was not working great last time i tried it.

But it’s been a few years

ANYWAY

Chat was happening in a place where multiple other players were able to see or join the conversation.

This time I was verbally chatting with some guy about mission steps and it was showing me saying the weirdest shit and it read like I was hitting on him. It wasn’t even close to what I was actually saying.

I pointed it out mid convo like. “Dude did you see what the text is showing I said?”

We had a laugh about it but honestly it was a bit awkward though I knew the guy well enough we could laugh it off. Other people reading it (you can only listen in if you are connected with a mic) probably were thinking I was trying to hook up with this dude.

Im a woman player so the last thing I want is to make it look like I’m chatting up male players and open for business. 🤦

I’ve just never got it to work for me. And I’m deeply untrusting of it for causing me problems.

I swear I talk normal with minimum accent. Idk.
