Description

English

If dictation in the Codex app produces no text or shows a flat input level, the following setting may be worth checking:

Windows Settings → Privacy & security → Speech → Online speech recognition

In one observed case, microphone access, dictation in Chrome, and voice chat in the app were working. Dictation in Codex started working again after this Windows setting was enabled. A new recording with recognized text was subsequently saved.

This individual case suggests that the setting could be included as a possible troubleshooting check in help documentation and support responses. It does not establish a general technical dependency.

Deutsch

Bei ausbleibendem Text oder einer flachen Pegelanzeige in der Codex-Diktatfunktion könnte folgender Prüfpunkt helfen:

Windows-Einstellungen → Datenschutz & Sicherheit → Spracherkennung → Online-Spracherkennung

In einem beobachteten Fall funktionierten Mikrofonzugriff, Diktieren in Chrome und der Sprachchat der App. Die Codex-Diktatfunktion funktionierte erst nach dem Einschalten dieser Windows-Einstellung wieder. Anschließend wurde eine neue Aufnahme mit erkanntem Text gespeichert.

Dieser Einzelfall spricht dafür, die Einstellung als möglichen Prüfpunkt in Hilfetexte und Supportantworten aufzunehmen. Eine allgemeine technische Abhängigkeit ist damit nicht bewiesen.
