Ubisoft’s free-to-play Brawlhalla has revealed it is adding real-time captioning to “significantly boost accessibility in live stream gaming”.
Teaming with Speechmatics, Ubisoft says Brawlhalla’s 80 million players make the game “a prime title to demonstrate the value and importance of accessibility” and will be using Speechmatics’ real-time speech-to-text API for all live streams, esports tournaments, and the game’s twice-weekly developer streams.
“The integration of these Closed Captions follows the CEA-608 standard,” Ubisoft explains in a statement. “As a result, these Closed Captions are supported by a large portion of Over The Top (OTT) services, including but not limited to Twitch and Youtube.
