Support voice chat as well as text for multiplayer games

Can we add microphones in game as I have trouble reading chat with my ADHD and Dyslexia issues so having a mic system will help me follow orders a lot better ?

As a blind gamer, voice chat is quite essential for communicating online as I can’t read what people are typing without assistance.

Voice chat allows players who are unable to read quickly or well enough to chat by text to still communicate, as well as being of huge benefit to players in general.

It should not be used instead of text however, as that would exclude players who can’t hear/talk, don’t have the necessary hardware, have situational impairments such as a noisy room or not wanting to wake the baby, or simply prefer not to use their voice. Both options should be provided.
