Microsoft announced late last year that Windows Speech Recognition (WSR) is now deprecated in favour of Voice Access, a new feature of Windows 11. WSR may be removed in a future build or release of Windows. It would be nice if Dragonfly could use Voice Access through an API. I'll do some testing to see how feasible this is.

Either way, I think it would be good to have an engine back-end that uses the newer .NET speech API. This one.

Microsoft have said that WSR will be removed from Windows 11 in an update in September, 2024. I presume that means that the older API we use -- SAPI 5, deprecated for many years now -- will also finally be removed. I suppose we'll find out in September.
