When you turn on speech recognition for the first time, you need to set it up to recognize your voice. To perform this action quickly, press Windows + Ctrl + s to instantly turn speech recognition on or off. Keep in mind that speech recognition is only available in a few languages, including English, French, German, Spanish, Mandarin, and Japanese. Under Speech Settings, click the switch located under "Enable Speech Recognition." It should switch to the "On" position. In the left pane, scroll down and click on "Speech" in the sidebar. You can also access it by pressing Windows + i on your keyboard.

To do this, open your Start menu and click on the gear icon. But it might not already be enabled by default on your system, so you might need to quickly head to settings to enable it.
