Disable online speech recognition (per-user)

PrivacySafe riskReversible

Sets HasAccepted = 0 under Speech_OneCore\Settings\OnlineSpeechPrivacy for the current user. This is the 'Online speech recognition' privacy toggle: with it off, Windows stops sending your voice to Microsoft's cloud speech service for dictation/voice features. Offline/local speech recognition and the built-in Speech Recognition app still work. Reversible; revert restores the prior value.

How MaxTweaks applies this

MaxTweaks applies this tweak with one click and snapshots your original setting first, so you can revert it cleanly at any time. A System Restore point is offered before batch changes, and every tweak links to its official source.
