Windows 10: Voice Access installation

Hello there,I hope you can help me with my problem. I want to use the voice access feature, but I cannot install the language models from the Settings page. I guess this is due to some restrictions on the IT side here. I already found a great workaround, but I need the corresponding link from Microsoft to solve this problem. On the Microsoft support page I found an installer for the English speech package which is working great after installing it. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/troubleshooting-live-captions-or-voice-access-setup-issues-4adeb98b-9d74-4559-8bc9-3aa05903f0f9#store_p

Create an Alias for Voice Access

Hello,

I’ve recently started using Voice Access and I find it useful. Can users create an alias for it?

According to Microsoft Support Topics, Voice access command list - Microsoft Support, the only way to activate and manage Voice Access is by calling “Voice Access”.

I’d like to create an alias to call “Voice Access” as either “Cortana” or “Copilot”. Is this possible?

Thanks!

 

Voice Access for offline use

Hello, BrettCA

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

You can use Voice Access on Windows 11 offline. According to Microsoft Support, Voice Access is a new feature in Windows 11 that enables everyone, including people with mobility disabilities, to control their PC and author text using only their voice and without an internet connection.

Here’s how you can set it up:

1. Launch Voice Access from Settings: In the Start menu, select Settings > Accessibility > Speech. Turn on the Voice access switch.
   
2. Start Voice Access from Windows search: Open Windows search and type voice access. Select Open to start voice access.
   

When you turn on Voice Access for the first time, you are prompted to download voice access language files to be used by on-device speech recognition. Once the language files have been downloaded, voice access works regardless of your internet connection status.

Note: You may still need the Internet to download the corresponding language files when setting up for the first time. After the download is complete, you can use it offline.
