Re: How to stop Text to Voice on XBOX

Hi there, @OldGreyGhost54 

On your Xbox, try going into the Settings. Then go to Ease of Acces > Game Transcription. You can disable text to speech here.

  • Just checked and they are all blank (No checkmark in boxes)

    They have always been off and it still comes in

    Check under the accessibility options in Apex. I believe there's an option to disable text to speech.

  • Already turned off.

    Thanks anyway, dont know how they are getting in.

    Just random stuff, not very nice either.

    Definitely needs to be a way to permanently disable text to speech as it causes stutters on Xbox Series X and major freezes (~0.5 seconds) on older Xbox consoles.

    @OldGreyGhost54 get it too but usually polite. Thought it was some English lad talking to me at game ends until I realised it was text to speech. 😃

    Thanks for getting back to me. Under gameplay, try disabling "Enable Accessible Chat Features". Let me know what happens.

  • @EA_Aljo all three of your suggestions above were already off on my xbox when I checked it today. So they must have been off when the text to voice happened.

    Maby it is simply "a voice from the void", 😃 which cannot be stopped by mere mortals. 

  • That has been off also.

    And just to let you know, this is the only game it happens in.

    Thanks for the details. Unfortunately, I can't think of anything else that could be causing this. If I have any more suggestions, I'll post them here.

  • I too am having this issue. My last game that I just left had some immature toddler throwing a fit because he jumped by himself and got instant downed. So he spammed txt to voice until the game ended and I couldn't mute him or get it to stop. This was also in a ranked game and caused me to lose points because I was freezing and couldn't hear anything except a bunch of %'s being spammed nonstop.   I don't know if we can get people punished for being so toxic but if we can, his gamer tag was [CM - removed] and I was streaming on twitch when I had this guy's toxic behavior play out. I've sent a report through xbox but that basically does nothing as xbox team doesn't care about toxic behavior as long as people are paying for xbox live.

    @forgottenspace u need to take out the gamer tag name from your post as its against forum rules to name and shame and will attract the attention of a CM shortly who will berate you 😉
