Notes
- Speech recognition requires computer memory and can impact your computer's performance, so you should remove it as a text service if you don't use it.
- If speech recognition is not available, it may not be installed. Click Related Topics for information about installing speech recognition.
- Speech recognition engines are language-specific. Three Microsoft speech engines are currently available for use in Windows: Simplified Chinese, U.S. English, and Japanese.
