Windows 10: Google search- speech recognition not working

My computer, is a Dell laptop. Running Windows 10 pro,
The problem I'm having, is Google. I love it, as a browser!

But, what I really like. Is it's, speech recognition.
I click, on the microphone. At the end of, search bar.

And I can say, anything. It then, display what I said.
I use it, all the time. For example. I use it, to create my questions,
for this Forum.

But, it stopped working? I talk, even scream. But, nothing.
I really, miss it. Like, this message. I'm actually typing it.

I did, re-install Google. Do to an unrelated, computer problem.
So maybe, I missed something? But, I doubt it.

I tested, my microphone. No problem there?
I called, Google Support = 866 246-6453

But, a recorded voice, said. Due to, Covid-19.
We are not providing, phone support.

That's why, I've turned to the Forum.
Hopefully, one of you experts. Will have, the answer?

Thanks, for reading . . . Jerry

No speech recognition at all


Hi, this may be of interest:
Installing additional language packs for Windows 10 speech recognition random ranting

This has downloads, + a complete list of languages availablefor Win 10:

(but note the date)

fwiw I just tried it- my locale, speech, display language etc are set to UK English. (Which took some doing this time, or something was slightly messed up).

If I type speech in Cortana's search box, say, I get Windows Speech Recognition as top search.

I use Classic Shell, with the Control Panel expanded, so in a second or less I can see 'Speech Recognition' listed there.

Similarly, if I type 'Speech' in Settings I can easily see Speech Recognition.

With the speech recognition bar displayed, task manager shows:
SpeechRuntime.exe in C:\Windows\System32\Speech_OneCore\Common ..........

sapisvr.exe in C:\Windows\Speech\Common

running.

Some (older) search results:

I came across this for Win 7
Speech Recognition - Language Configuration is Not Supported Error Fix - Windows 7 Help Forums
- maybe there's an updated one here (see Tutorials).

There are a couple of helpful links at the end of this (but Win 7 again)
