Open the original- What it measures
- The guide places the checkbox under Time & language, then Typing, then the Touch keyboard section. It also says the button only changes the keyboard layout and does not turn the microphone on or off.
- What it does not show
- Third-party guide, not a Microsoft page. Hiding the button does not disable Win+H, so voice typing still starts from a hardware keyboard.
