Blizzard has started testing audio transcription in Overwatch 2 in an effort to fight back against verbal abuse in the game’s voice chat.
In the most recent patch notes for Overwatch 2, Blizzard confirmed that it has begun to roll out its audio transcription feature as a part of its Defence Matrix initiative (thanks, Eurogamer). The feature is only available for PC players in select countries at the moment, so if you’re not seeing it that will be why.
This feature essentially uses audio transcriptions of the voice chat that allows Blizzard to «analyse a transcript from a temporary voice chat recording of a reported player.
