- # Speech and Text Channels
- Talking is a key part of Space Station 14. You can press [keybind="FocusChatInputWindow"/] to jump to the text box.
- The word next to the text box is the [color=#a4885c]text channel[/color] you're about to send the message to, or rather how you're about to say what you've typed.
- Local is normal speech at normal volume.
- Whisper can only be heard when nearby somebody. You automatically whisper into your radio to send messages over it.
- Emotes are gestures that you make. Can be recieved by anyone who is not blinded. You will often see mimes do many emotes.
- Whisper messages can be sent by starting your message with [color=#a4885c][keybind="FocusWhisperChatWindow"/][/color] and Emotes can be sent by starting your message with ([color=#a4885c]@[/color]).
- You can also cycle through all of these text channels by pressing [keybind="CycleChatChannelForward"/].
- People may not be able to make out all of what you're saying if you're standing too far away from them. This is especially important if you're whispering.
- ## Radio
- Your radio allows you to communicate across the entire station and to your specific [color=#a4885c]department[/color].

- To send a [color=#a4885c]station-wide[/color] message over the radio preface, use the [color=#32cd32]Common[/color] channel by beginning your text with [color=#32cd32]semi-colon (;)[/color].
- People standing right next to you might catch bits of your radio message, even if they don't have the access to the relevant radio channel. Watch for eavesdroppers.
- ## Departmental Radio
- You are able to send messages over your departmental radio channels using [color=#32cd32]colon (:)[/color] followed by the department letter as long as you're wearing a headset with your department's encryption key.
- Examine your headset to see the department channels available to you.

- Examining an unmodified engineering headset would show you the prefixes for the [color=#32cd32]Common[/color] and [color=#f37746]Engineering[/color] channels.
- It is also possible to use [color=#a4885c]:h[/color]. This hotkey will automatically default to your department radio channel.
- For example, if you're a Station Engineer then [color=#a4885c]:h[/color] will default to [color=#f37746]:e[/color].
- ## Encryption Keys
- [color=#a4885c]Encryption keys[/color] give you access to their respective channel.
- Examining our engineering headset from earlier shows us [color=#32cd32]Common[/color] and [color=#f37746]Engineering[/color] because an engineer's headset starts with those [color=#a4885c]encryption keys[/color].

- <GuideEntityEmbed Entity="EncryptionKeySoviet"/>
- </Box>
- You can take out encryption keys by using a [color=#a4885c]screwdriver[/color] on a headset. New encryption keys are put into headsets by clicking on one with an encryption key in your hand.
- All command members have extras of their relevant encryption key, but you can also request one at the HoP's office when you're getting your job changed.
- ## OOC Channels
- OOC (out-of-character) channels exist outside of the game world. They are LOOC, OOC and Dead chat.
- LOOC is on during the rounds, OOC is typically off until the round ends and you can only see and talk in Dead chat when you are, well, dead.
- Do not discuss the current round in the Discord or in OOC if it's on during the round.
