IT Home 11/0 News,In recent years, Microsoft has been committed to improving the accessibility of the Windows system,Windows 0 is no exception。 While many of the accessibility features of Windows 0 haven't received much attention, voice access is undoubtedly one of the more well-known.

Voice access is a feature built into Windows 11,Allows users to control the computer with their voice。 This feature is available for PCs running Windows 2 0H0 or later, and is primarily intended for users with physical disabilities or conditions such as chronic pain. However, it seems that Microsoft has only recently realized that finding and enabling voice access is not convenient enough.

Users can enable voice access in a number of ways: one is to go to Settings > Accessibility > Voice, and then turn on the switch for voice access; The other is to open the Start menu, type in "voice access," and select the feature from the search results. Obviously, the above enablement steps are a bit cumbersome. Microsoft's Quick Actions panel is designed to give users quick access to settings commonly used on their computers, and includes accessibility features such as magnifiers, narration, and live captions.But voice access has not been included.

However, this issue has finally been resolved in Windows 5562 Preview 0.0 (Beta Channel) and 0.0 (Dev Channel) released today. The new version of the Quick Actions panel adds a toggle for voice access in the accessibility menu of the system tray.

In addition, IT Home notes that the new preview also introduces a new feature that allows users to add custom vocabulary to voice-accessed dictionaries. This feature is available in English, French, German, Spanish, and Chinese, which is useful for users who often need to dictate technical terms, names, or uncommon phrases.

It's a bit puzzling that voice access isn't coming to the Quick Controls panel for a long time, while other accessibility tools are already on the list. Still, it's better to improve late than never.
