About Windows Voice Access
Built into Windows 11, Voice Access (and classic Windows Dictation, Win+H) gives you free, system-wide dictation and voice control with no extra download. It's not as slick or AI-smart as Wispr Flow, but for basic Windows dictation at zero cost, it's the obvious starting point.
It's already on your PC and free β the sensible first stop for any Windows user before paying for a dictation app.
