Updated: Text-to-speech on Meta Quest can support blind and low vision accessibility, as well as improving the experience for anyone who has difficulty reading or comprehending text that is displayed on a screen.
Turn on text-to-speech
To get started with text-to-speech, you need to turn it on in the Meta Quest accessibility settings:
- Press
Meta button or
Oculus button on your right controller to open the universal menu.
- On the left, select
Quick controls.
- Select
Settings in the top right, then select Accessibility.
- Select
Vision.
- Under the Text to speech heading, select the toggle to turn text to speech on.
Use text-to-speech
When text-to-speech is enabled, hovering your hand or controller cursor over a piece of text will play a tone. If you continue to hover over that text, it will be read aloud.
Text to speech only works on Meta Horizon user interfaces, and some window (2d) apps. It is not available within immersive apps or games.
Text-to-speech settings
The amount of time you need to hover over a piece of text before it is read aloud can be adjusted:
- From the accessibility settings (see above) select
- Under the Text to speech heading, find the Time delay setting.
- Using the dropdown, adjust the time delay.
