About this tag
Hands-free typing on Windows refers to using built-in accessibility tools like Eye Control and Speech Recognition to input text without a physical keyboard. Eye Control, available in Windows 10 and 11, works with a compatible eye tracker to navigate, click, and type via an on-screen keyboard, and includes text-to-speech. Speech Recognition allows dictation and voice commands to control the PC and type in documents, emails, and other applications. These features are useful for users with mobility challenges, repetitive strain injuries, or anyone seeking alternative input methods. The tag covers setup guides, hardware requirements, and troubleshooting for these hands-free typing solutions.
