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 πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

 

 

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 β€” 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.

 

 

 

πŸ’‘ Feature Requests:

 

 

  1. Enable speech-to-text and real-time captions in VR β€” both in apps and for system-level interactions.
  2. Expand Meta AI features globally, starting with full support in the UK.
  3. Provide better voice navigation and control that works independently of Meta AI, with offline/local support where possible.
  4. 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 β€” 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!
