'''Windows Speech Recognition''' ('''WSR''') is [[speech recognition]] developed by [[Microsoft]] for [[Windows Vista]] that enables [[hands-free computing|voice commands]] to control the [[desktop metaphor|desktop]] [[user interface]];, [[transcription (linguistics)|dictate]] text in [[electronic document]]s and [[email]];, navigate [[website]]s;, perform [[keyboard shortcut]]s;, and to operate the [[cursor (computing)|mouse cursor]]. It supports custom [[macro (computer science)|macro]]s to perform additional or supplementary tasks.

WSR is a locally processed speech recognition platform; it does not rely on [[cloud computing]] for accuracy, dictation, or recognition, but adapts based on contexts, grammars, speech samples, training sessions, and vocabularies. It provides a personal dictionary that allows users to include or exclude words or expressions from dictation and to record pronunciations to increase recognition accuracy. Custom language models are also supported.
