Speech Diagnostric Calibrate Error 0x80004003

Hello,

In Windows 11 I just installed latest update KB5015882, and I can confirm that after installing this update the option to setup speech recognition is back. Well.... it's back... but if I actually run the speech recognition setup and it lets me speak the sentence "Peter talks to his computer. He prefers it to typing, and particularly prefers it to pen and paper." nothing happens!

I did check and confirm that my mic is being detected, with sufficient volume, hence could not be the issue.

Anyone else that can confirm the update fixes the error but is not able to run the setup successfully, like me?

Any fix for this?

Regards,

Marcel

Hi Manson,

I appreciate your support.

But, we need your knowledge for a broader audience.

In my case, the update KB5014699 is not listed under the Uninstall Update.

I can see the KB5014699 update under Quality Updates, which doesn't have the option to uninstall that particular update.

So, we need an alternate solution and we are looking forward to your reply.

I'm currently having issues with my microphone (I use my microphone often), it's not picking up anything I don't know why, so usually I go to the troubleshooter "Find and Fix Problems with Speech" I then open the for mentioned trouble shooter and run it, the troubleshooter stops and says an error has occurred, so I look further to see that it is an error 0x80004003. I don't understand what is going on and why it won't let me the troubleshooter, other troubleshooters work besides the one I mentioned if someone could help me, as I've been looking around on the internet but really couldn't find anything, thanks.
Also, I did recently delete some of my temp files so if it is because of that should I factory reset or? And also, I can't update to any prior versions of windows, and I did check if there were any updates and no I can't update at all. Hopefully you can help me out, thanks

OS: Windows 10

In my case, after uninstalling the offending win 10 update and rebooting, I no longer get the error, and after proceeding through the get started workflow and microphone troubleshooting steps, I've now confirmed dictation is working using the dictation toolbar via Win + H.
