Speech Recognition - "start listening" command failure

Question

Why does Windows 11 Speech Recognition not recognise my "start listening" command and how can I fix this?

Answer 1

Thank you for your advice! I was using my internal microphone. I have now got a headset and speech recognition is now responding to my Start Listening command.
