Accessibility Change Voice Typing "Wait time before acting" in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to change the Voice Typing "Wait time before acting" on voice command setting for your account in Windows 11.

Voice typing allows you to enter text on your PC by speaking.

Starting with Windows 11 build 26100.7705 (24H2) and build 26200.7705 (25H2), Microsoft introduced a new Wait time before acting setting in Voice Typing, allowing users to configure the delay before a voice command is executed. This provides greater flexibility for users with varying speech patterns, enabling more accurate recognition whether speaking slowly or quickly.

Here's How:

1 Start voice typing (Win+H).

2 Click/tap on the Settings (gear) button on the voice typing menu. (see screenshot below)

That's it,
