@afercia @allilevine, I have raised this PR related to the issue #25194.

As mentioned in the PR post above, I have only been able to test it using 'Speech Recognition Anywhere' extension on Chrome browser on Windows machine. I request you to let me know about a suitable free software that could be used to test the feature.

Also, I'm not sure whether this fix also required any changes in the React Native files. I also request you to let me know about the same.

Thanks.

👍 I tested with Voice Control and Safari (following the steps in #25194) and saying "Click cancel" closed the Publish panel.

Looks good to merge!

@prashanttholia thanks for working on this!

To answer your question, I'm not sure there are good speech recognition software for Windows that are free. Traditionally, the most used one is Dragon but it's commercial software and pretty expensive.

On Windows 10, there's the built-in "Windows Speech Recognition" tool which can be used for testing, to some extent. Also to consider that different tools often give different results. For example, when testing with Voice Control on macOS and then with Windows Speech Recognition on Windows, I often get different behaviors.

The PR looks good to me, the change is simple, and everything is green. Merging!

Thanks @afercia!

I did try testing "Windows Speech Recognition", but it somehow did not work on my machine.

I am glad that the PR is being merged. Thanks to you and @allilevine for providing the opportunity to contribute!
