    How to Enable or Disable Run Speech Recognition at Startup in Windows 10


    When you set up Speech Recognition in Windows 10, it lets you control your PC with your voice alone, without needing a keyboard or mouse.

    Using only your voice, you can open menus, click buttons and other objects on the screen, dictate text into documents, and write and send emails. Just about anything you do with your keyboard and mouse can be done with only your voice.

    Speech Recognition is only available for the following languages: English (United States, United Kingdom, Canada, India, and Australia), French, German, Japanese, Mandarin (Chinese Simplified and Chinese Traditional), and Spanish.

    Win 10 Speech Recognition

    I was going to try the settings one more time as you suggested. However I ran into deadlock even at the first step:



    “…Select the
    Speech Recognition > Set up Speech Recognition
    page…”



    No such choice as “Set up Speech Recognition”. How can I send you the screen shot?

  6. Win 10 Speech Recognition

    Hi Sidneylo,

    With the description you've provided regarding the issue on your Windows 10 Speech Recognition, it's possible that some of its settings may not be enabled on your system. To sort this out, allow me to ask the following information:

    • Was Speech Recognition working fine before?
    • Were there any changes made or updates installed on your computer prior to the issue?
    • On what edition, build, and version of Windows 10 is your computer running? To check, navigate to
      Settings > System> About, and look for Windows specifications.

    In the meantime, try to turn off, then turn back on the speech recognition and see if it works. If the issue persists, then I suggest that you reconfigure it. Here are the steps:

    1. In the Cortana search, type in Control Panel, and select it from the search results.
    2. If the View by is in Category view, click the drop-down and select either large or
      small icons.
    3. Select the Speech Recognition > Set up Speech Recognition page, then click
      Next.
    4. Select the type of microphone you have, hit Next, then follow the on-screen instructions.
    5. Once you're on the Improve speech recognition accuracy, make sure to select
      Enable document review, then hit Next.
    6. Select the Use voice activation mode since you want to activate it by using the
      Start Listening command, then hit Next.
    7. If you want to start this feature at startup, select Start automatically at startup. If not, choose the other option, then hit
      Next.
    8. Follow the remaining on-screen instructions to complete the set up.
