For example, the search bar allows users to quickly find commands and the various categories on the left provide further guidance. Also, every command now has a description and examples of its variations, making it easier to understand and use.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft is also expanding Voice Access to other English dialects, including English -UK, English \u2013 India, English \u2013 New Zealand, English \u2013 Canada, and English \u2013 Australia.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the feature also includes some new commands:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To select a range of text in the text box \u2013 say \u201cSelect from [text 1] to [text 2]\u201d, or \u201cSelect from have to voice access.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>To delete all the text in a text box \u2013 say \u201cDelete all.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>To Apply bold\/underline\/italicize formatting on the selected text or last dictated text \u2013 say \u201cBold that,\u201d \u201cUnderline that\u201d, \u201cItalicize that.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>To remove all whitespaces from the selected text or last dictated text \u2013 say \u201cno space that.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>To insert \u201ctext\u201d at the cursor and capitalize the first letter of each word \u2013 say \u201cCaps [text],\u201d \u201cCaps hello world.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>To insert \u201ctext\u201d at the cursor without any whitespace before \u201ctext\u201d \u2013 say \u201cNo space [text],\u201d \u201cNo space Davis.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Touch Keyboard settings<\/h3>\n<p>After installing this update, the &#8220;Typing&#8221; settings page will now include a new touch keyboard setting that replaces the &#8220;Show the touch keyboard when there\u2019s no keyboard attached&#8221; that includes the following options:\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Never \u2013<\/strong> suppresses the touch keyboard even when no hardware keyboard is attached.<\/li>\n<li><strong>When no keyboard attached \u2013<\/strong> will show the touch keyboard only when the device is used as a tablet without the hardware keyboard.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Always \u2013<\/strong> will show the touch keyboard even when the hardware keyboard is attached.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Windows Narrator\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>Windows 11 build 23403 also comes with changes for the Windows Narrator.

Other languages will be supported in a future flight.<\/p>\n<h3>Kiosk mode with multiple apps<\/h3>\n<p>This flight ships with changes to Kiosk mode to allow network administrators to configure access to multiple apps while blocking all other system functionalities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In this release through the Dev Channel, the multi-app kiosk mode can be enabled using PowerShell and WMI Bridge. Support for Intune\/MDM and provisioning package configuration will be coming in future updates.<\/p>\n<h3>Taskbar\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>Other minor changes can be found in the Taskbar. For instance, you will now have a copy button for quickly copying two-factor authentication (2FA) codes in notification toasts from apps installed on the computer or from phones linked to the device.<\/p>\n<p>The network icon in the System Tray now shows a VPN shield badge icon when connected to a recognized VPN profile.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The search box in the Taskbar will now render the box with a lighter color when using a custom color mode, including dark mode.<\/p>\n<h2>Fixes and improvements<\/h2>\n<p>This flight also ships with a bunch of fixes and improvements for Taskbar, Input, Settings, File Explorer, and more.<\/p>\n<h3>Taskbar\u00a0<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>Fixed rendering issues when using the touch keyboard with the search box on the Taskbar.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed an issue when double-clicking the search highlight glyph in the search box makes it disappear.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed an issue where the search box would randomly disappear.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed an issue where the search icon flips incorrectly for right-to-left (RTL) languages.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed an issue where you might have seen some text flicker in the search box when you click into it.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed an issue where the search box might disappear on one monitor if you are using multiple monitors.<\/li>\n<li>Made some accessibility fixes to the settings for search under Settings &gt;
