Windows 10:How to configure Speech Recognition

  • Article

Introduction:

Speech Recognition allows you to control your PC with your voice alone. You don’t need a keyboard or mouse. Configuring Speech Recognition in Windows 10 version 1809 is simple. In this wiki article, it will be discussed on how to configure it.

 

Steps to follow:

 

  • Plug in your Microphone to your system. If you are using a desktop PC then plug into the rear audio (mic) port.
  • Open Control Panel in Category view.
  • Click Ease of Access.
  • Select Speech Recognition.
  • Select Set up Speech Recognition.
  • Select the Headset Microphone.
  • Make sure that the Microphone is properly placed. Keep the following things in mind:
  1. The Microphone should be positioned about an inch away from the mouth.
  2. * Make sure the mute button is off.*
  3. Do not breath as that will interfere with Speech Recognition.
  • You have to read the sentences shown on screen and have to adjust volume accordingly. So that the reading will be clear, loud and distinct.
  • If the Microphone is not properly placed it will ask you to repeat the speech.
  • If you like you can allow your PC to review documents and email in your Search index.

 







Choose an Activation Mode:

  • Activation modes may be manual or voice activation mode.
  • If you select manual activation mode, speech recognition can be turned by clicking on the microphone button or pressing the Ctrl+Windows key. If you like to turn off then say "Stop Listening". In voice activation mode, speech recognition  goes to sleep and can be started just by saying “Start Listening.”

  • If you like to run Speech Recognition every time you start computer then put a check against Run Speech Recognition at Start Up.

  •  You are all set to use Speech Recognition in Windows 10 version 1809.
