Windows Speech Recognition lets you control your PC with your voice alone, without needing a keyboard or mouse. There's a wizard to help you get started. Just plug in your microphone, and then, in the search box, enter Speech Recognition and select Windows Speech Recognition .

After you’ve completed the wizard, you can go through the tutorial to learn the voice commands and train your PC to recognise your voice.

Speech Recognition is available only for English (U.S. and U.K.), French, German, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin (Chinese Simplified and Chinese Traditional) and Spanish.
