Windows Speech (STT)

Built-in Windows speech recognition. Free, offline, basic quality.

Windows Speech uses Windows' built-in speech recognition. Free, offline, supports any languages installed in Windows. Accuracy is basic compared to neural STT — useful as a free fallback or for offline-only setups.

Windows Speech is experimental.

Setup

Make sure your language is installed in Windows

Settings → Time & Language → Language → Add a language. Make sure the Speech recognition capability is included.

Add to Voxta

Manage Services → + Add Services → Windows Speech → Add.

If already added for TTS, the same instance now also handles STT.

Note

The same Windows Speech module also provides TTS — see Windows Speech under Text-to-Speech.
