Trying to set up voice-to-text typing in Win 11

[mnorian]

Was using Win 10 but had no luck with voice-typing so tried W-11----but still no go. Anyone else done this in 11\?

There's a handful of threads like this already, but it works and performs about the same as 10 (other than looking different). There's no taskbar labels if that's a bother to you (ie all your open programs display as icons on the taskbar, which is the default view since 7).

YUP; and everything else I could find about it. D/L three different voice/text programs; and none of them worked. At this point I'm not sure what's going on. If I had more hair; I'd start pulling it out!!!

And your microphone works properly in other programs? Sound Recorder? Zoom?

It's like they took Win10--took out some of the good features--stuck it in bowel--and stirred it up; poured it out and called it good.
It's not.

Yes; I have a Dell laptop and it works just fine in Gchat and other apps.

As I have had Norapathy in my hands for the last year; I have had to stop serving on the staff team here at CF; which I miss immense

Have you checked the app settings thoroughly for input devices? Your laptop could potentially have a second input device it's detecting or looking for. For instance, mine has the actual microphone and also "Steam Streaming Microphone" which isn't actually a real microphone, but a away of forwarding audio to another device. These are viewable in Sound Settings.

My other thought is to hit up the support page of whichever app/s you're using, as they likely have to deal with these sorts of issues and have a good idea of what you're running into.

Just looked at that setting and the only thing I can see that might be a problem is that the default apps d'no't have the default sound levels set; so going to try that and see whAT happens.

mmmh ---I just got a popup diialog box saying i need a video or image to post here! what the heck? "your message must have at least one video or image to post here."

Testing.

No microphone for voice/texting anywhere around the reply box, dang.

I finally got it working thru help on win11 forum; it was one of the deep Windows files where my mic was muted.

 

[mnorian]

I got the voice/text working but using it is something else. It only types the right words about have the time; and then it types nonsense any time I stop or just pause to get a breath.
It''s pretty much useless; I don't think I'll be able to use it on CF.

If you haven't already, try going to "Control Panel"-->"Speech Recognition"-->"Train your computer to better understand you" and complete at least 3 sessions. Or else you might just need a better mic.
