Would it be possible to ask for a site that lists all the App IDs of all the speech packs? This would help out instead of trying to hunt them down.

At this time, we don't have them listed. This is a good ask and we will investigate. Thanks for the feedback.
That was a great session, the live captions are very useful. Come in useful as well for folks that don't have hearing impairments but for various reasons can't have audio running, Thanks.

You can also check out https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/apps/develop/launch/launch-settings-app#ease-of-access for the list of those page visibility list settings under Accessibility - should have had those in our last slide!
On average, how large (Mb) are these language packs?
- Ben_Watt
Great question MichaelFleet - most speech packs are around the 100MB mark, but the speech translation pack on a Copilot+PC is over 400MB. Voice packs for natural voices are pretty small, usually around 20MB.
In the sample you show for the SPEECH pack, you assign it to SYSTEM. Please explain the problem when that package is assigned to DEVICES and USERS at the same time (mixed). This will cause problems that Intune does not prevent, is that correct? It’s clear that the SPEECH pack should be assigned to SYSTEM, but perhaps with another example where not all users need it. Thank you.

bretzeli thanks for watching and thanks for the question. In Intune, whether you deploy an app to a DEVICE or to a USER, will depend on the app, the end goal, and the expected user experience. When deploying to DEVICES, the app will be forcefully installed without user interaction. Apps that are targeted to devices can only be assigned as REQUIRED. When deploying to USERS, you have the option of REQUIRED, where the app will be deployed without user interaction, or AVAILABLE where the app will show in the user's Company Portal app on their desktop. From there, the user can download and install the app on-demand.
Is there a specific question you have in relation to Speech Packs?
