This tutorial will show you how to add your own custom words to the dictionary in Voice Access for your account in Windows 11.
Voice Access in Windows 11 enables everyone, including people with mobility disabilities, to control their PC and author text using their voice.
Starting with Windows 11 build 26120.3872 (Beta 24H2) and build 26200.5562 (Dev), Microsoft is introducing the ability for you to add your own words to the dictionary in voice access. Adding your own words, including difficult to pronounce words, to the dictionary in voice access will help improve dictation accuracy. It increases the probability of recognizing these words more accurately by creating a bias that helps voice access become more context aware and proactively understanding your specific vocabulary. The feature will be available in all the currently supported voice access languages i.e. English, French, German, Spanish and Chinese.
