If you are referring to WSR or Windows Speech Recognition, it is a speech recognition component for Windows Vista developed by Microsoft. It allows the use of voice commands to control the desktop interface; dictate text in electronic documents, email, and forms; perform keyboard shortcuts; navigate websites; operate the mouse; and create macros to perform additional tasks. It is a locally-processed speech recognition platform.
It doesn’t depend its accuracy, dictation, and or recognition services on cloud computing. Instead, it adapts based on user’s continued input, speech samples, grammar, vocabulary, and training sessions. For dictation, it has a personal dictionary that allows users to include or exclude words or expressions as well as to optionally record pronunciations to increase recognition accuracy.
The Windows Speech Recognition was developed to be an integrated component of Microsoft Windows Vista because previous versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system only included support for speech recognition capabilities that were limited to individual programs like the Windows Media Player. Windows Speech Recognition relies on the Speech API developed by Microsoft and third-party software should support the Text Services Framework.
Windows Speech Recognition is also included in Windows 7, Windows 8.x, and Windows 10.
