# Setting the voice recognition language

You can select the language that the application will use for voice recognition. For example, when you speak to an AI character. To ensure accurate recognition of your voice, you must select a voice recognition language that matches the language that you will speak.

{% hint style="info" %}
The list of voice recognition languages will include regional variations of English and regional variations of the current application language. If the list doesn't include the language that you want to use, first see [choosing-a-language-in-the-engage-app](https://docs.engagevr.io/engage/configuring-the-engage-app/choosing-a-language-in-the-engage-app "mention").
