Make it possible to enable English speech recognition on other OS Languages
I have a Dutch WIndows Phone but i can't use the speech recognition/Voice command in my own language.
This is fine by me but as an alternative let me be able to turn on English voice commands.
Like Siri in iPhone is also enabled when iOS is in Dutch but you can still make english voice commands.10 votes -

Voice Recognition for Text, Punctuation Recognition Shorts
Please include punctuation recognition for voice recognition/transcription for text. For example, saying "punctuation period" would add a "." This would enable us to properly punctuate voice texts without hand editing. Please

Speach support on phones with swedish settings
Speach support on phones with swedish settings is missing in all Windows 7 and 8 phones I have been looking to.
Why does phone manufacturers only support english settings, when the suport obviously is a part of the OS?7 votes -
Please, add Finnish language support to WP and Windows
Windows 8 doesn't have text to speech nor voice regognition support for Finnish language. Would be great to have it, even if as extra cost feature. Bing's text to speech Finnish voice is very good, it sounds more natural than Google's Finnish voice, so would be great to have it in Windows and Windows Phone too.

Stop being so arrogant (voice dialling)
1) Stop being so arrogant - not realizing that there are countries where phone numbers have different lengths. I am sick and bloody tired of having to pad any number I wish to voice dial with digits after it to total 11 digits. If I don't, that "silly woman" in the phone will insert random numbers where "she" thinks it fits. TRUST ME TO KNOW THE LENGTH OF NUMBERS IN MY COUNTRY.
2) When receiving a voice command for calling, given the track record of erroneous interpretation of the voice command - ASK FOR CONFIRMATION before placing the call.

Australian English accent for Text to Speech.
Its almost impossible to use the speech function with an Australian accent. This couldn't be that much effort, apple released a patch for siri within 2 months of being released... we have waited almost 2 years and heard NOTHING.
