INTRODUCTION

This article describes how the Windows Speech Recognition language must be the same as the operating system language in Windows Vista.

MORE INFORMATION

Windows Speech Recognition is available only when the language of the operating system matches the language of Windows Speech Recognition. In Windows Vista Ultimate, you can change the language of the operating system by installing a language pack from Windows Update.

Windows Speech Recognition supports the following languages:
•US English
•UK English
•French
•Spanish

•Japanese
•Traditional Chinese
