Hello Microsoft Support Team, I am writing to request clarification on whether Russian-language offline Speech Recognition is supported in my current Windows configuration, and if so, how to correctly install it. --- SYSTEM CONFIGURATION - OS: Windows 11 Pro 25H2 - Image Version: 10.0.26200.8457 (confirmed via DISM) - DISM Version: 10.0.26100.5074 - Current Edition: Professional - Windows Component Store (AppX): 10.0.26100.1 - System Locale: ru-RU - Home Location (GeoId): 244 (United States) - User Languages: ru (Russian), en-US (English) - Windows Update Policy: no WSUS/corporate policy detected --- PROBLEM DESCRIPTION The Win+H voice typing shortcut only transcribes speech to English. Switching keyboard layout to Russian results in no text input at all. Diagnostic findings: 1. The capability "Language.Speech~ru-RU~0.0.1.0" is completely absent from the output of: Get-WindowsCapability -Online | Where-Object { $_.Name -like "Speech" } The full list of available Language.Speech capabilities contains 17 languages — Russian is not among them. 2.

Is offline Speech Recognition (Language.Speech) for Russian (ru-RU) supported in Windows 11 25H2 (image version 10.0.26200.8457)? 2. If supported — what is the correct capability name and installation method for this specific build? 3. If not supported — is there a planned timeline for adding ru-RU to the Language.Speech capability list? 4. Could the Home Location setting (GeoId: 244, United States) affect the availability of the ru-RU Speech capability in the repository? --- Thank you for your assistance. Best regards
