Issue with Voice Typing Language Change on Windows 11

Hi



Welcome to Microsoft community.

If you're encountering issues with switching the voice typing language between Korean and English on your Windows 11 system, there are several steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you:

Check Your Installed Language Packs

First, ensure that both the English and Korean language packs are correctly installed on your system.

• Go to Settings > Time & language > Language & region.
  
• Check if both English and Korean are listed under Preferred languages. If not, click on Add a language to add the missing language pack.
  

Verify the Speech Language Settings

Windows 11 voice typing feature relies on the speech language settings to determine which language it should recognize.

• Navigate to Settings > Time & language > Speech.
  
• Under Manage voices, make sure you have the voices for both English and Korean installed. If a voice is missing, you can download it by clicking on Add voices.
  
• Also, check the Windows display language and Preferred languages settings to ensure they are correctly set for your multilingual needs.
  

Use the Windows Key + H Shortcut

When you want to switch between languages for voice typing:

• First, ensure the correct language keyboard is selected. You can switch between keyboards by clicking on the language icon in the taskbar or by using the Windows key + Spacebar shortcut.
  
• Once the correct keyboard is selected, use the Windows key + H shortcut to activate voice typing. The voice typing should correspond to the keyboard language currently selected.
  

Check for Updates

Make sure your Windows 11 is up to date, as Microsoft frequently releases updates that can fix known issues and improve overall functionality:

• Go to Settings > Windows Update and click on Check for updates.
  

Troubleshoot the Speech Recognition Feature

If you're still having issues, using the built-in troubleshooter might help identify and fix problems related to speech recognition:

• Go to Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters.
  
• Run the Speech troubleshooter and follow any recommendations it provides.
  

Reset Language Settings

As a last resort, you can try resetting your language settings, which might help resolve any conflicts:

• Navigate to Settings > Time & language > Language & region.
  
• Use the Reset option to reset your language settings to their default values. Note that this might remove any custom language settings, so use it as a last resort.
  

If after following these steps you still cannot switch the voice typing to English, there might be a more specific issue with your Windows 11 installation. In such cases, contacting Microsoft Support for more direct assistance might be beneficial. They can offer more tailored support.

Please feel free to let me know how it goes.

Greek Language Support for Voice Typing in Windows 11 - When will it be available?

I am planning to upgrade to windows 11 and looking forward to use the new voice typing feature. However, I noticed that the greek language is not among the supported languages (a peculiar and annoying fact, given the long list of the already supported languages).

So, I would like to know when greek language support for Voice Typing will be available in Windows 11.

Thanks in advance

 

Speech Recognition (Voice Typing) for Kannada Language in Windows 11

Hey, hope you're doing great,

I was checking for the speech recognition features in Windows 11 and learned that speech recognition for the Kannada language (voice typing) is not yet available in Windows 11.

Windows 11 currently supports voice typing for Indian languages such as Hindi, Gujarati, Telugu, Tamil and Marathi but the Kannada language is not yet supported.

It would be great if you provide the voice typing feature for the Kannada language in Windows 11.

Thank you
