Add Custom Words to Voice Access in Windows 11

Voice Access is a handy feature in Windows 11 that lets you control your computer and write messages just by speaking. You can open apps, click buttons, and do lots of things without using your keyboard or mouse.

If you want Voice Access to understand your special words — like names, places, or tricky-to-pronounce words — you can add those words yourself. This helps the feature hear you better and write more accurately.
