To customise how closed captions look on your screen, select Closed Captions Settings, turn off Display Closed Captions as Specified by Content, and then configure the following:
Font size, colour, edges, and opacity.
Background colour and opacity, window colour and opacity.
The chat transcription feature (speech-to-text and text-to-speech) converts the voices of other players in voice chat in parties and supported games, and reads aloud text you enter to other players. Chat transcription in game chat is available only in games that support it.
Turn the chat transcription on or off.
Choose one of the available languages. Text that you enter is read aloud and text that you speak is transcribed in this language to other players if they're also using chat transcription. By default, your console language is used as your spoken language. If your console language isn't supported, the spoken language defaults to English.
Chat transcription is available in:
English | Italian |
French | Japanese |
German | Spanish |
Choose a voice type to represent you. Other players in the voice chat hear this voice when text you enter is read aloud to them.

After you set up chat transcription, the voices of other players are converted to text and appear on the right side of the voice chat card.
If you want, let your keyboard do the talking for you. Select Say something and use the on-screen keyboard to enter text. The text you enter is read aloud to the other players in the Voice Type you chose.
