Voice access is a new experience that enables everyone, including people with mobility disabilities, to control their PC and author text using their voice. For example, voice access supports scenarios like opening and switching between apps, browsing the web, and reading and authoring mail. Voice access leverages modern, on-device speech recognition to accurately recognize speech and is supported without an internet connection.

You can use voice access to login to your PC and access other areas on the Lock screen. In this guide, you’ll learn how to login using Voice access in Windows 11.
