    Windows supports Bengali input for Bengali (India), but the provided information does not show an installable speech recognition tool for Bangla/Bengali (India).

    What is available:

    1. In Settings > Time & language > Language & region, add Bengali (India).
    2. This adds Bengali typing support.
    3. To type in Bengali script, open Language options for Bengali (India) and add the Bangla Phonetic keyboard if needed.
    4. This does not require changing the Windows display language.

    For Microsoft 365, a Bangla (Bengali India) language accessory pack is available, but it provides partial localization and proofing tools, not a Windows Bengali speech recognition tool.

    There is also community feedback requesting Bengali voice dictation, which indicates this capability is being requested by users.

    AI-generated content may be incorrect. Read our transparency notes for more information.
