Microsoft releases new Windows 11 preview with improved voice access

• Click to enter:ChatGPT tool plug-in navigation directory

The main new feature is the improvement of voice access, which was first demonstrated in build 22518. The feature is being added to touch keyboards, so you'll be able to use it to spell words, enter numbers, enter punctuation, and even enter emojis. All you need to do is say "Show Keyboard" and then click the number that corresponds to a key.

There are some other changes. Another thing that happened with build 22518 is that Microsoft introduced a new Widgets icon to display the weather, but unlike what was promised to users in the Dev channel, it's only available to some Insiders. It is now available to anyone who signs up to test the latest feature.

In the updated design, ALT TAB, Task View, and Snap Assist will all display your accent color in the focus rectangle. There's also some other low-level stuff like HTTPS booting of Hyper-V Generation 2 VMs.

As always, there's a long list of fixes, improvements, and known issues to be aware of.
