Anyone else just hate typing with on-screen keyboards? The PlayStation 4 is pretty good with this stuff, using a mixture of predictive text, gyroscopes, and even the touchpad to speed up the process – but it’s still a frustrating and cumbersome experience overall, isn’t it? The PlayStation 5 will solve that problem with speech dictation.
As you may already know, the DualSense includes a microphone which you can use for voice chat and the abovementioned feature. All you need to do is speak into your controller, and it’ll convert your message to text for you, ready to share on social media or send to friends. This functionality probably won’t be flawless, but it’s a great addition, isn’t it?

😄-Your right it won't be flawless, but it'll cut down on time! Even if I have to correct it a little..lol.
holds controller right up to mouth
I SAID KETCHUP, NOT CATSUP
@BowTiesAreCool 😂Lmao!🤣 Sounds about right!👈(pun intended)
@RicksReflection I hear ya!
As long as it’s good enough to enter codes (for characters it should be). That’s all I use the keyboard fir anyway, PSN codes.
Genuinely didn’t consider this great addition!!
I dictate all my messages using voice to text software on my iPhone. Welcome to the 21st-century.
@BowTiesAreCool 😶-We can only hope that the algorithm that they use for speech recognition is smarter than Google's is. Because I hate to have to(REPEATEDLY) and articulately re-pronounce over and over and get absolutely the wrong Sh*t, especially as in, "How the H*ll did that word even come up" it doesn't even remotely sound similar😖?
Nice simple feature!
Let's hope it can read broad geordie accents.
I hope the dualsense microphone can understand my broken english
This is great. Imagine I can dictate my comments straight in PushSquare. If something goes wrong I can blame Sony typing crap😀
Can’t lie this feature will come in HANDY whilst snacking
very hand, It'll probably struggle with some UK accents though
All I can think of with this, is the video of a Scottish woman asking Alexa to play a song and it won't until she uses an English accent 😂
When the guy hit the mic button I thought the controller was going to pick up what he was saying but it didn't.
Speech to text is great when it works.... and then there are times when the message turned into an alien language where the listening device only heard like 3 words.
Sorry guys "Mute all microphones" always on. ☺️
