The next Windows 11 update will allow you to type out loud by spelling

For several years we have seen an integration of speech-to-text support both in mobile devices and in Windows and Mac operating systems. However, those systems did not have support for foreign words, acronyms and the like.

The new Windows 11 Build 22538 is currently in the development channel, but has already demonstrated a feature that will allow write out loud more fullya.

Users within the Windows Insiders program can now try this feature and it makes it easier to enter acronyms, phone numbers, punctuation symbols and items that are not correctly recognized by the system. speech-to-text of Windows.

For it have created the possibility from launch Windows 11 touch keyboard out loud. At that moment each key will have a unique marker with a number.

We can say “Show/hide keyboard” and to click on one of the keys, we will only have to say “Click (number)”, being the number that corresponds to the marker in the upper left corner of the key.

Thus we can enter emojis or punctuation symbols, emails or addresses without problem out loud. It is perfect for when our hands are full and for users with mobility problems.

It should be noted that once the keyboard is displayed, we can only use the voice commands to show / hide the keyboard, click on a key and turn voice access on or off or turn off the microphone.

Thus the experience that Microsoft already offered with Cortana is completed and with which we could dictate texts with increasing precision by Windows. However, there are certain types of elements that choke it and that is why this addition is more than welcome.
