This doesn’t work with Win 11 though. I miss it.

My overall experience with Bluetooth connectivity in Win11 has been challenging to put it very mildly.

I suppose you're going to give me a 25-step process to install voice to text on linux now, as if i couldn't still do the same thing on windows right?

I was referencing Bluetooth, so no

[-] pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Most desktops don't have microphones, although all laptops do. I guess it was never deemed useful enough since a mouse and keyboard have been fine for decades. Text To Speech was created as a way to assist with "arduous" text input on mobile devices with small screens.

i don't know a single PC user that doesn't have a camera/microphone, and the technology is all there. its just laziness on developers part. And by "developers" here, I of course mean the bean counters that decide what the actual devs work on.

I don't have a webcam. And I didn't have a functioning microphone for several years until recently.

[-] ubermeisters@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Well if it doesn't apply to you then fuck everybody else I suppose

Bluetooth on Windows is trash. It's not possible to have separate left and right volume controls, and headset buttons are not recognized.

Typical Microsoft

[-] ours@lemmy.film 2 points 1 year ago

Win + I brings a way busier screen but it shows the Bluetooth devices with their connect button right there.

Works in Windows 10 as well but there it requires an extra click to select the device so that the "connect" button is shown.
