Windows 10: Voice typing does not listen consistently

I have windows 11 and voice typing does not work consistently. I've run the troubleshooter.When it doesn't work, the same USB microphone set up works fine for Windows Speech recognition or Voice Recorder.Sometimes I can resolve with a restart, sometimes not.I just get the spinning blue line and it never starts listening.

How do i tell when i have a new voice message i haven't listened to?

The behavior i observe is that on the screen i'd call "status" (the little clock symbol), it lists contacts and under a contact says "shared a media document", if i was left a voice message. But, after i listen to the message, the status screen still says
that. So, how do i tell when i have a new message that i have not listened to? And, when i see a list of, say, 3 voice messages from a contact, how do i tell which ones i have already listened to and which not? There is no change in appearance in the list
after you have listened to a message. How do i delete a message if i don't want to keep it? I see no way to do that.

Lamentably, none of these very basic tasks I ask about are obvious. So, please describe as best you can, step by step, click this, then this...how to do the above.

Voice recording will not open

I opened Voice Recorder Aug 1, 2022 and made a recording. I saved it. It is in my Documents folder. I need to open this folder and listen to recording. When I try to open it I am sent to tab detailing 'recording steps', which lists all keystrokes made on laptop. What happened to the voice recording??? It asks me what app to open it in. I did not make recording in an app. What do I have to do to listen to the recording. And I need to be able to email it to someone.
