Windows 10: Download of windows language app files for offline deployment (Handwrite and Text-To_Speech)

Hi,

I have a download issue in windows 10 i need help with, or to find out if the option is possible at all.

I need to install a language in windows, and to download the language app segments, “Handwrite” and “Speech” especially, because I need to be able to get text-to-speech functionality.

But I need to download these as FILES for offline installation, through SCCM.!

I have searched google for a solution to download these but I can’t find any description on how to do this, neither from the Microsoft app store or anywhere else.

Does anyone know how to download these, so I can deploy them bulk on 500+ computers?

Best regards

Brian Petersen

Windows 8.1 update changed the language, can't change back

Maybe, these will help... it seems it is a common enough problem.

Language packs are no longer available after you upgrade to Windows 8.1

And, sort of the same here --> Add a language or keyboard

Quote from above MS web page:

Spoiler Download and install language packs
You'll need to download the language pack if you want to make a language your Windows display language (that's the language you see most often in Windows and apps).

• Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
  (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
• Tap or click Time and language, and then tap or click Region and language.
• Tap or click a language that says Language pack available underneath, and then tap or click Options.
• Tap or click Download. The download process might take a while, depending on your PC and the size of the language pack.
  If you want to make this your display language, see the next section "Change your Windows display language".

Change your Windows display language
To change your Windows display language (that's the language you see most often in Windows and apps), first add a language, download and install the language pack, and then follow these steps.

• Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
  (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
• Tap or click Time and language, and then tap or click Region and language.
• Tap or click the language that you want to set as your display language.
• Tap or click Set as primary to move the language to the top of the list. If the language can become your Windows display language, you'll see Will be display language after next sign-in appear under the language.
• Sign out and then sign back in to finish.

Handwriting personalization / Supported characters for English (US) language

Hi Jacob,

Since the Handwriting Personalization feature has worked properly before, there's a possibility that recent changes or updates performed on your computer may have triggered this problem or it could be that there is a need for you to improve the handwriting
recognition on your Surface Pro by providing more samples of your handwriting. Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Control Panel > Clock, Language, and Region > Language > Language options.
2. Under Handwriting, click Personalize handwriting recognition.
3. Select Teach the recognizer your handwriting style.
4. Several options will be provided to you on what samples do you want to input.
5. Once done, click Update and exit.
6. Click Close.

In case you're still getting the same error when trying to have a word or letter recognized, then you may have to reset the handwriting recognizer and start from scratch. Here's how:

1. Navigate to Language options > Handwriting.
2. Under Personalize handwriting recognition > Related Tasks, click
   Delete handwriting samples that you provided for the current language.
3. Confirm that you want to delete it by clicking Yes, delete my handwriting samples and reset the handwriting recognizer.
4. Once done, then try to re-establish your handwriting feature again.

Let me know the result so I can assist you further.

Regards.

 

Handwriting Disabled - "There are no handwriting options for this language."

Original title: Handwriting Disabled

I'm running a new SurfaceBook on Windows 10, Australia region, with English Australia as the default language. It says "There are no handwriting options for this language." I tried changing my language to English UK and English US, and it still says the
same thing. I'm wanting to use this feature in OneNote "Ink to Text". I'm wanting to know how to enable this.
