Windows 10: How to make Windows Speech Recognition to search the web?

Hi, using the Windows Speech Recognition tool/feature that comes in handy with windows, you could open and close programs and do a hundred other stuff from your voice, literally control your pc.

Is there a way to search the web through it? If so, what's the command?

No speech recognition at all


Hi, this may be of interest:

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)
