Microsoft is rolling out a new update for Windows Insiders in the Beta channel, including a few features previously available in Canary and Dev.
Windows Insiders in the Beta channel are being treated to a new update for Windows 11 today, bringing the build number to 22624.1465 or 22621.1465, depending on whether you’ve opted into testing additional features. For the former build, this update adds some of the capabilities that have been available in the Dev (and now Canary) channels for some time, starting with expanded language support for live captions.
Indeed, live captions originally debuted with Windows 11 version 22H2, but they were only available for English users in the United States. With this update, Microsoft is adding support for more English dialects, such as the UK and India, but also for new languages. That includes French, German, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, Italian, Chinese, and Japanese. This is also on top of recent updates that expanded voice access support for additional English variants (though no other languages are supported yet).
