[It's probably a good thing this isn't a murdergame.]
Visual and auditory processing for languages have similarities in brain activation but are different enough that guaranteeing you could process both at a high level would have been incredibly invasive, as well as difficult with what we have available to us at this point in time. Understanding speech seemed more practical than prioritizing reading, and it was much easier to add adaptive translation to the tablets.

Stop, stop, stop! I can understand that you're doing something to brains, but mine is going to implode if you keep talking like I'm a fellow robot, and moreover I don't really want to know if someone's been poking around in there in some weird way! I don't!
[Tamamori is doing his level best to prevent brain overactivity, thanks. I, Fyre, continue to appreciate this in-depth knowledge as he flails.]
... Mm, but if I could have robot glasses that could translate everything, how convenient that would be...

[So can you blame them...!]
I do not know if such a thing would be feasible at this time, even if it does seem practical.
