As we finalize the product over the coming months, we’ll be working with you to validate the experience
Hello Windows Insiders, We’re excited to release the first build of the Windows 11 Insider Preview to the Dev Channel! You’ll be able to try out many, but not all, of the new features we showed off last week in this early preview. We’ll be bringing more features like Chat with Microsoft Teams and Android apps to the Microsoft Store in the coming months as they’re ready for you—we’re just starting this journey together!
WSR is being deprecated
Changes and Improvements – – [General] Windows 11 is moving from Windows Speech Recognition (WSR) to Voice Sign In. When you open WSR, you’ll see a dialog directing you to try Voice Sign In, and they’ve also added a banner in Settings > Ease of Access > Speech like They’ll. Voice Sign In, our new assistive technology in Windows 11, uses on-device speech recognition to let you control your PC and create text without an internet connection.
WSR users are encouraged to try and get started with Voice Access today
