Windows 10: For disabled adults Windows' strict Ctrl+H dictation censorship is an accessibility issue.

Related Feedback Hub post: https://aka.ms/AAm1i6nLet me say 'pissed off' without turning it into asterisks while voice typing. Why is there no profanity filter setting to disable the nanny mode? I have an autoimmune condition that makes me sensitive to my own stress hormones. Having to manually edit my output constantly triggers this, causing my nervous system to swell. These flares cause pain in my joints as my nerves are pinched, confusion, headaches, chest pain, and emotional instability. Not only does this severely impact my productivity as an adult creative with multiple disabilities

Why is "dictate" (windows, H) so much better than speech recognition (windows, ctrl, S)?

When I use "dictate" (windows, H), the program understands me much better then when I use Speech recognition software (windows, ctrl, S). Why is that ?

Thanks, Richard
