And with the voice accessibility improvements in Build 22624.1391, there are three things users want to be aware of. The first is the app’s redesigned Command Prompt help page, which makes it easier to understand different commands and different classes of commands.
Not all commands may be included, Microsoft plans to add more in a secondary build, and there are new text selection and editing commands.
Microsoft has revamped the in-app command help page in Voice Access to make it easier to use and understand, and the search bar now allows users to quickly find commands and different categories provide more direction. Each command now has a description and examples of its differences, with the aim of making it easier to understand and use.
Users can access the command help page from Help > Show all commands on the voice access bar or use the “what can I say” voice command.
Please note that the app’s redesigned Help page in Voice Access may not include all commands and supplemental information may be inaccurate, as Microsoft plans to update this in future Builds. Users who want a comprehensive list of Voice Access commands and additional information about them can refer Use Voice Access to control PC text and author with voice.
Microsoft also extended Voice Access to support other English dialects such as English-UK; English – India; English – New Zealand; English – Canada; and English – Australia.
When Voice Access is turned on for the first time, users will be prompted to download a speech model to enable voice data recognition. In the event that the voice of the voice, the speech model does not find a match for your display language, users can still choose to proceed to use the voice access in English – US.
Users can always switch to a different language by navigating to Settings > Language on the audio access bar.
Microsoft has also added some more useful commands to make text selection and editing easier with access to audio. Examples include selecting a group of text in a textbox, applying Bold/Underline/Italicize formatting to selected text or last salted text, removing all whitespace from selected text or last text, deleting all text in a textbox and more.
