Console Voice Recognition - Phasmophobia v0.11.1.2

Written By Tom Dent
 

Welcome back, Ghost Hunters. We’ve got an update for you.

Today, we’re excited to implement VOSK Voice Recognition for players on PlayStation 5, PS VR2 and Xbox Series X/S.

Voice Recognition in Phasmophobia allows Ghost Hunters to:

  • Utilise the Spirit Box by speaking phrases such as ‘‘Are you friendly?’’ and "Give us a sign" to communicate with the ghost.

  • Use Curse Possessions such as the Ouija Board to interact with the ghost and the Monkey Paw.

  • Say the ghost’s name or other recognisable phrases near the ghost to be provided with a chance to increase the ghost’s activity for a short time.

At release, the below language are supported for Voice Recognition. We will be implementing a full range of languages in the next update for Phasmophobia:

  • English

  • French

  • Italian

  • German

  • Spanish

  • Brazilian Portuguese

  • Japanese

Below you’ll find a run-through on how to make sure Voice Recognition is set up correctly on your console, as well as accompanying patch notes.
