The tool should be useful for Deaf gamers who unable to hear what people said, also some can't talk including i am because of sign languages that not part of virtual generation yet. I've been played VRChat for just two weeks but I don't like how deaf gamers want to leave from this game because...a text chat is important if anyone think of. I tried to find some ways to communicate people are handwritten with a marker or pen available from a few spaces but can difficult to write without having VR hand controller that allow easy to write or sometimes annoyed player took my marker when i wrote the incomplete words to someone then ran around act like goofy that cause depressing how person can't talk without have a marker. The other one was trying to find their Twitch/Twitter IDs that same username from the game because sometimes i have been looking for how-to-get custom avatar where it came from so this idea may be not right to do for their privacy. Right now i didn't feel to write again unless this request feature needs to be available for Deaf gamers. Here's a link that someone's website providing information to game developers for accessibility guidelines, they showed the different levels which you can develop easy or harder to make text chat in the game: http://gameaccessibilityguidelines.com/

Scout - VRChat Head of Quality Assurance: Shouldn't this be marked as Complete? The built-in text chat is already implemented in live.

You can do this now with OSC natively in VR. https://twitter.com/rabidcrabgt/status/1495205502069866499

Shanie: you neglect that this requires disabled users both pay for the feature for their avatar, and that they need t know how to implement it in unity.

Flufflestuff: While I really wish it was a feature native to VRChat, we also have to remember that the people who make these OSC setups do it in their spare time, many of which may also be struggling financially...
Just because the tools are made for (or can be used by) people with disabilities, doesn't mean the people making the tools shouldn't be rewarded for their work.

I think it would be a cool idea. They could base it on that text chat prefab a lot of people use but have it built into the menu.

I as a deaf gamer do have really difficult times communicating with people when it’s not in an asl world. I find people talk to me in worlds like Murder 4 where there’s no pens and makes it difficult to communicate. I have it standing in my bio that I’m deaf but I find many people getting annoyed by me as they think I’m ignoring them so they begin punching and just shooting me whenever. It makes it difficult just having fun playing the game when people just go to kill me cause they think I’m just rude. At this point being able to chat would really be a big help.

text chat is needed i physically can not speak and sometimes it gets so hard to communicate

Yep, I think text chat is needed.
One of the #1 requests I get in my worlds is adding pens or a keyboard. Mute players already have ways to communicate, but they're subpar. World creators shouldn't be the ones to provide this accessibility feature.

i agree with this 100% but i do wish they also create private message as well for friends if they want to stay in contact with

I've got to say i agree with this completely and i believe i have something to offer the Deaf & Mute community,
I've created a concept similar in regards to tackling a similar issue VRChat has, its a feature request hopefully posting a link doesn't break comment etiquette & my apolgies if it does I mean no disrespect;
