- What it is
- Microsoft's reference for the XSpeechToTextType enumeration, which tells a game whether text it renders comes from speech or from typed text.
- How much weight it carries
- Primary API documentation from Microsoft. It covers what a game title renders, not what a player can do on the console, so it is evidence about the design of speech features rather than a consumer feature list.
Facts taken from this source
- Microsoft's Xbox developer reference defines the speech-to-text source for a game as in-game speech subtitles or transcribed game voice chat, so the console's speech-to-text feature is built around game speech rather than dictation into a text box.
“The source of the text is in-game speech subtitles or transcribed game voice chat.” (Constants)
