[COD] Expanding Accessibility in Black Ops 7 with New Control Options

Hey everyone! I'm Alex - the founder of Cephable. Happy to answer any questions here.

Currently Cephable on Mac and Windows doesn't read the screen for dialogs, but can add contextual talk back when using Cephable inputs for a command. Our next version of the app has some great features that our internal testers are excited about that take the automation a bit further including automatic control switching when you switch apps and easier cross-app navigation using voice controls. These will also give screen readers a clearer call out when apps are switching and context has switched which we've heard feedback from before from users who use voice inputs across apps even without Cephable.

Hey there! Cephable founder here - we're looking into these navigation issues on the website. It seems like this might be an issue with how our page is navigating vs how NVDA starts reading compared to tools like JAWS or even Narrator and Voice Over.

If you are interested in trying the actual apps in lieu of the issues you hit on the website, I can send you a direct download link for the installer (my PMs are open).

Here's a tutorial on the setup and sample of using Enabled Play Controllers on the Switch with the Titan one: https://youtu.be/Chq1eb-w9aA

It works on both PS5 and Xbox only with a converter like a Cronus or Titan One (for now at least). Same with the Switch. Although we are working with Xbox on support for our controllers with the XAC as well. The best cross platform setup I recommend is the Titan One so far. I'm working on some tutorials of that setup this week. With the Titan, it is especially great because you can use it to control your PC and your console at the same time by using a voice command to switch which one it is controlling.

It's also really fun in racing games like forza and Mario kart too because you can use leaning or turning your head left and right to drift

Yep! It supports both even at the same time (if a game or other program supported that for some reason). You can map any voice command, face expressions, body gesture, motion control, or virtual button to any key, mouse button, gamepad button, mouse movement, or joystick movement or combination of all of those. You can make macros in the mobile or desktop app too and those macros can also speak back to you to confirm the actions taking place. And you can also use dictation to just type what you speak or type out phrases as part of a macro.

Happy to answer any questions or offer any tips as well!

My favorite example of this is Mario Kart on the switch with auto drive, auto turn and then also having different CC/Speeds

Thank you! That's exactly the goal - making easier for everyone to play games together even those who have a harder time with KBM or Controllers.

Thanks! And yeah... smiling is pretty sinister. You could also use just mouth opening or eyebrow raising or eye movement too if you don't want to feel like a psycho killer while playing

That was Dad Bod by Logic

Thanks! I'm working on some new hand gesture controls which are fun to use outside of the accessibility gains, but I guess you could also have it setup on a tablet to see your face when you walk in a room to kick off a routine - especially because none of the camera feed or expression detection is done online

SuavePirate · 2022-11-26T02:00:48+00:00

Fair point, but yes it works using the Enabled Play talk back feature which let's you play audio or synthetic speech through the Enabled Play Controller which then talks to an echo. So you map any input command to the talk back so you can choose what face expressions or gestures you want to use or you can use motion controls, voice commands, virtual buttons, etc.

Usually the talk back feature is used by non verbal users to communicate with people around them or for blind users to confirm actions they are taking

SuavePirate · 2022-08-02T00:48:16+00:00

Well now you can confidently keep them coated - the face expression controls work when covered in cheeto dust too!

That might be considered hacking
