If you want to control your Windows 11 PC using your voice, Voice Access is a helpful tool that lets you speak commands and type text without using the keyboard or mouse.

Voice Access lets you open apps, move around your computer, and do many things just by talking.

When you first turn on Voice Access, Windows will ask you to download language files so it can understand your speech better.

At the beginning, only US English was available. Now, you can add several English versions, including:

• English – US
• English – UK
• English – India
• English – New Zealand
• English – Canada
• English – Australia

Windows will check your computer’s main language and suggest options. But if you want to add or switch to another language, follow the easy steps below!

1. Turn on Voice Access.
