Is there a way to finish voice training on Windows 11?
I use Work by Speech app which uses Windows Speech Recognition Engine. The problem is that after switching to Windows 11, I discovered that voice training was removed.
On Windows 10 I could access it by going to "Start -> Control Panel -> Ease of Access -> Speech Recognition -> Train your computer to better understand you".
It's also not available in "Settings > Time & language > Speech".
Do you know how to complete voice training on Windows 11?

Search for "Set up a microphone" in the Windows 11 search bar and open it. Follow the on-screen instructions. This wizard will ask you to read a sentence aloud. While it's a very brief process, it does help the system calibrate to your voice's volume and basic characteristics.
Microsoft has been shifting focus towards other speech technologies, like the new Voice Access feature (which is separate from the older Windows Speech Recognition Engine) and cloud-based speech processing. While these have their own training or adaptation methods, they don't directly apply to improving the accuracy of the older engine used by applications like "Work by Speech."
