Title: [Feature Request] Add Native Voice Input Support to Qwen Windows Desktop Client

Dear Qwen Development Team,

I’m writing to strongly recommend adding native voice input functionality to the Qwen Windows desktop client.

Currently, the Windows application only supports text-based input, while the mobile app (iOS/Android) already offers seamless voice interaction. For many users—especially those in productivity-focused, accessibility-needs, or hands-free scenarios—voice input is not just convenient but essential.

Although Windows system-level dictation (Win + H) or third-party input methods (e.g., iFlytek, Sogou) can serve as workarounds, they create a fragmented user experience:

  • They require extra steps and system configuration;
  • Lack integration with Qwen’s UI (no microphone button);
  • May not support real-time streaming or auto-send after speech.

Suggested Implementation:

  1. Add a microphone icon next to the input box in the Windows client.
  2. Integrate speech-to-text (ASR) using either:
    • Windows.Media.SpeechRecognition API (for offline/local use), or
    • Alibaba Cloud Intelligent Speech Interaction service (for higher accuracy).
  3. Allow users to choose whether to auto-send or edit the transcribed text before submission.

This feature would significantly enhance usability, accessibility, and parity between mobile and desktop platforms.

Thank you for your incredible work on Qwen! I believe this addition would make the desktop experience truly complete.

Best regards,
A Qwen Windows User
