I would like to see access to more accessibility features
🧠Feature Request: More Accessibility Features (Speech-to-Text, Meta AI Tools) for Meta Quest in the UK 🇬🇧
Hi Meta Team and fellow Quest users,
I’m a big fan of the Meta Quest platform and love how immersive the VR experience can be — but I’ve noticed a major area that needs attention: accessibility, especially here in the UK.
Currently, features like speech-to-text, voice control, and other Meta AI-powered tools are either not available or only partially supported in certain regions outside the U.S. This creates a frustrating experience for users who rely on these features for accessibility or just to interact more easily in VR.
:exclamation_mark: Key Issues:
- Speech-to-text and real-time captions are not widely available across apps or the system UI.
- Voice commands and dictation are tied to Meta AI, which is not yet fully rolled out in the UK.
- There’s no system-wide support for users with hearing, speech, or mobility challenges.
💡 Feature Requests:
- Enable speech-to-text and real-time captions in VR — both in apps and for system-level interactions.
- Expand Meta AI features globally, starting with full support in the UK.
- Provide better voice navigation and control that works independently of Meta AI, with offline/local support where possible.
- Develop a dedicated accessibility menu for quick access to features like narration, magnification, and voice tools.
Meta has a real opportunity to make the Quest platform more inclusive, more interactive, and more empowering for users everywhere — not just in the U.S.
I’d love to hear from others:
- Are you experiencing similar issues with accessibility in your region?
- What features would make a big difference in your experience?
Let’s make sure VR is for everyone.
Thanks for listening!
