Windows 10: Speech Recognition shortcut?

Is there a way to make a shortcut to put on the desktop for Microsoft's built-in Speech Recognition? The best I can find is creating this shorcut:

C:\Windows\explorer.exe shell:::{58E3C745-D971-4081-9034-86E34B30836A}

but that opens up the entire "configure Speech Recognition experience" window in control panel. I want to make a shortcut that directly starts the Speech Recognition, just like clicking "Start Speech Recognition" does in that control panel shortcut. Is there a way to do this?

Speech recognition does not shut down

Hello



I have a bug with Windows Speech Recognition (SAPI) in Windows 10, version 1709, OS Build 16299.125. (issue was present in earlier builds of Windows 10 as well)



Speech Recognition will refuse to start again once closed if certain criteria are met.

I have placed a shortcut for starting Windows Speech Recognition on my Desktop.

Shortcut copied from C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessibility\Windows Speech Recognition

- Click the shortcut to start Windows Speech Recognition

- Open Start

- Close Start

- Close Windows Speech Recognition

- Click the shortcut to Windows Speech Recognition



Windows Speech Recognition won’t open. Looking at Task Manager you’ll see Speech Recognition still running.

If you open Start, you’ll see Speech Recognition disappearing from Task Manager and you are able to open Windows Speech Recognition again. If you close Windows Speech Recognition without opening Start, you are able to start Windows Speech Recognition
again.

Ah, I never mind - I found the solution. Create a new shortcut to:

%windir%\Speech\Common\sapisvr.exe -SpeechUX
