V2T - Voice Chat for Jump Space

by Pasharacc / ICGICommander

Talk to your crew. Hold one key and speak.

Your words appear in chat for everyone, and every crewmate who has V2T hears your voice live.

In any lobby, whoever hosts it. Press and V2T gives you the chat itself: a

history you can scroll, crewmates named in their own colours, and the game's own messages in

the same place.

The benefits of V2T

• Voice chat in any lobby, whoever hosts

Voice chat is between players who have V2T installed. Host your own game, join a friend, or

drop into a stranger's lobby: every player there with V2T can talk to every other player

with V2T, even when the host does not have it. Players without V2T do not hear the voice

chat, but they still read what you say, transcribed as normal chat text.

• Speech to text in 42 languages

Speak, and within about a second your words appear as a normal chat message. Everyone can

read the message, with or without V2T. English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish,

Russian, Japanese, Mandarin and many more. It knows Jump Space's own words too: Materia,

Gatling, Med stim and the rest come out right, in every language the game is translated into.

• Speak any language, send English

Speak in your own language and V2T sends your words to chat in English, so the whole crew

can read you.

• Push to talk / Voice activation

Hold a key to talk, or switch to voice activation and just speak.

• Private, no servers, no Discord

Speech recognition runs on your own PC, so nothing you say is uploaded to be

transcribed. Voice travels over Epic's peer-to-peer networking, the same service the game

itself uses, so there is no server, Discord or port forwarding to set up.

• Follows your default audio device

V2T automatically switches to your Windows default microphone and speakers whenever you

change them, and reconnects by itself when headphones drop out or come back. No settings

to touch.

• Your crew at a glance

V2T replaces the game's crew list with cards: each crewmate's level, name, where they are on

the ship, health and shield in one bar, and a voice meter. You see who has V2T, whose mic is

off and who cannot hear you. A downed crewmate's card beats like a heart while they bleed out,

and during a jump everyone who is not in a jump seat glows red.

• Everything in the Esc menu

Press and V2T's Control Panel opens beside the Esc menu: hearing and talking,

speech to text, your keys, your language, the crew cards, and one fader between the game and

your crewmates' voices. Every crewmate with V2T gets a volume slider on their card, from 0 to

200 %.

• Make the HUD yours

Press and click HUD layout at the bottom of the screen. Drag the chat box, the crew

cards, your own card and your currencies wherever you want them, resize them by a corner and set

the chat's text size. Hold Shift to snap them to the grid.

• A chat you can actually read

Press and the chat becomes a panel you can scroll back through with the mouse

wheel, instead of a few lines fading off the screen. Crewmates are named in the colour the game

gives them, so you can tell who said what without reading the names. Every message sits on its

own card, and the game's own news moves in as cards too: what was found, with an icon for what

it is and its tier, who is down, who is back in the fight, and one-line cards for materia,

parts sent to the ship and installs.

• Know who you are flying with

Every crew card shows the crewmate's level, on a badge shaped and coloured by tier. It is

worked out on your own PC and shown only to you, never sent to anybody.

• A lobby browser that does the work

V2T replaces the game's lobby list with its own. Click a lobby to join, sort by any column,

filter by threat, region, friends, V2T players or hosts you have flown with, and see how far

away each region is before you join. It keeps itself up to date while it is open, and lobbies

hosted by V2T players carry a green V2T tag, so
