How to dictate Slovenian text on Windows 11

Set up Slovenian and dictate your first sentence

You do not need to change the Windows display language or install optional speech-recognition features.

1. Open Settings, then Time & language, then Language & region.
2. Under Preferred languages, choose Add a language. Find Slovenian and follow the installation prompts.
3. Press Windows+Spacebar and select Slovenian.
4. Click inside a blank practice document and press Windows+H.
5. Wait for the listening indicator, then speak a short Slovenian sentence.
6. Click the microphone button to stop. Read the result.

Try a short draft with details worth checking

Use this fictional practice sentence, or make up your own: Živjo, Maja. Sestanek bo 18. novembra ob 14.30.

Treat the sentence as intended content, not a promise of what recognition will produce. The exercise is to compare your draft against a known meaning before relying on it.

1. Say the message in Slovenian, expressing the date and time as you normally would.
2. After stopping capture, check that the recipient is Maja, the date is 18 November, and the time is 14:30.
3. Check Slovenian characters such as ž, š and č wherever they belong in your own text.
4. Correct names, digits and punctuation manually if needed. A different date format is acceptable only if it preserves the intended date.
5. For a longer message, finish reviewing this short passage before dictating the next one.

Fix the language or microphone before retrying

Use the symptom to choose your next check rather than repeating the whole draft.

1. If recognition uses the wrong language, press Windows+Spacebar and select Slovenian.
2. If Windows reports microphone access is blocked, open Settings, then Privacy & security, then Microphone, and check the relevant access controls.
3. If no speech is detected, open Settings, then System, then Sound. Under Input, select the intended microphone and check its input level while speaking.
4. If voice typing cannot connect, check your internet connection.
5. After changing a setting, retry only one short sentence in the practice document.

Check meaning before moving the draft elsewhere

Use this exercise to draft new text, rather than as a procedure for translation or transcribing an existing recording.

For an important message, review details in a separate pass: first names, then dates and times, then quantities. Finally, read the entire message for meaning. Pay particular attention to whether a request, refusal or deadline still says what you intended.

If one word remains wrong after a retry, type that word rather than replacing an otherwise useful paragraph. Keep the practice draft separate from a real message until you are satisfied with it.

Keep Windows voice typing separate from MindType

MindType offers Windows voice typing with a configurable shortcut and text insertion at the cursor.

Microsoft documents Slovenian support for Windows voice typing. That does not establish Slovenian support in MindType.

If you explore MindType, check its current language options before relying on it for Slovenian writing. Do not assume that selecting Slovenian in Windows also configures another writing tool.
