Use voice access to control your PC & author text with your voice

This page includes accessibility help articles for people who use Windows voice access to control their PC and author text using their voice.

Voice access in Windows 11 enables everyone, including people with mobility disabilities, to control their PC and author text using their voice. For example, you can open and switch between apps, browse the web, and read and author emails using your voice. Voice access uses modern, on-device speech recognition to accurately recognize speech and works even without the internet.

To share feedback or suggestions about voice access, go to the Feedback Hub under Accessibility>Voice access. Use the Windows logo  key+F to quickly open Feedback Hub. You can also find the Feedback Hub link in the voice access Helpicon or say, "Open voice access help," then "Click give feedback" to open the Feedback Hub.

On Windows 11 22H2 and later, Windows Speech Recognition (WSR) will be replaced by voice access starting in September 2024. Older versions of Windows will continue to have WSR available.

Voice access is available in Windows 11, version 22H2 and later. For more information on Windows 11 22H2 new features, and how to get the update, see What's new in recent Windows updates. Not sure which version of Windows you have? See: Find Windows version.
