Are you unable to hear sounds in Evef? have you worked with a deaf person in game? What would you like to see and how can you best be incorporated into fleet? Do you have access to a talk to text program? or does that lag things up too much? Is it better if a dedicated relayer interprets fleet chat or would it be better if everything is broadcast using the fleet broadcast tool?
Anyway, thanks for your time and for anyone that has a handicap thanks for playing, it helps me to see the game in new and interesting ways.
I'm not deaf and don't know of any deaf players in Eve. But in Eve I can sympathize with the deaf players since for a long time I couldn't use any of the voice software on my computer (turned out it was an issue with an old router). In fleets I'd have to rely on a relay and that usually fell apart after about 10 minutes so I'd simply be observant and look at what other people were doing in fleet, and just mimic their actions.
My real life job is with a community college's disabled students department as a "technology specialist." Most of the time this means I'm a regular computer technician, but if we have a deaf student in a class and can't arrange in-person sign language interpreters we'll teleconference with one (or two if its a long class). Setting up the teleconferencing equipment and making sure its working correctly every day becomes a major part of my job.
You mentioned something about voice to text software, and there is some stuff out there that does that. But the stuff I've seen is not anywhere near good enough to convert conversation from multiple speakers into text without being riddled with errors. Its been a while since I've looked into it though, so it may have been some advances in the field. |

It'd be interesting to see if Dragon Naturally Speaking could be used for live captioning. I doubt you could pipe text into the eve client without some serious programming and EULA violations, but using a second monitor with a 3rd party chat/communication program could work. The Dragon software can be trained to recognize special terms as well, so that wouldn't be too big of a problem. Each FC would need to work with and train the software though. That would take time but would limit recognition errors.

3. Here is something that has happened a few times...I'll be in a fleet doing some sort of OP and suddenly convo goes completely silent for 10+ minutes...no one responding because they are not paying attention because they are on voice (not even a quick response saying "we are working on something in voice").
I can't log in to voice every time I log into Eve so I run into this problem myself every so often and its annoying.
And I can't find the various comments on the fleet broadcasts to quote, but I'd welcome some changes to that too. In general I don't run fleets, but I tried running one once for a corp anomaly running op with some new players. Calling targets over voice was impossible because they are all named the same, so I tried using tags. That didn't work because setting tags is a click fest and was a literal pain in my wrist. Using target broadcasts worked somewhat but they don't stay on screen long enough or it was hard to pick the primary out from the rest. Eventually it got to the point where I stopped trying and everyone just shot at whatever they wanted. But I'll admit I should work with the fleet command tools in game more and get better acquainted with them.  |
