Italian voice dictation

Question

I've been trying for hours to activate voice dictation of a text but I can't. In the speech synthesis I have Microsoft Elsa Italian, but if I select Speech recognition I only find Microsoft Speech Recognizer English. How can I solve the problem?

Answer 1

Hello,

If the Italian language is not appearing as an option for speech recognition, it indicates that the necessary language pack for speech recognition in Italian might not be installed or properly configured.

Verify Installation of the Italian Language Pack

1. Open Settings:Press Windows + I to open the Settings app.
2. Time & Language: Go to "Time & Language".
3. Language & Region:Under "Preferred languages", check if "Italian" is listed. If not, click on "Add a language" and add "Italian".
4. Language Options: Click on "Italian", then click on "Language options". Ensure that the "Speech" component is installed. If not, install it.

If you still don't see Italian as an option, try removing the Italian language pack and then re-adding it:

• Go to "Settings" > "Time & Language" > "Language & Region".
• Select "Italian" and click "Remove".
• Add "Italian" again and ensure all components, including "Speech", are installed.
