<!--StartDescription-->
<p style="margin-left: 20px">Added in Windows 10, version 1607. Specifies whether the device will receive updates to the speech recognition and speech synthesis models. A speech model contains data used by the speech engine to convert audio to text (or vice-versa). The models are periodically updated to improve accuracy and performance. Models are non-executable data files. If enabled, the device will periodically check for updated speech models and then download them from a Microsoft service using the Background Internet Transfer Service (BITS).

<p style="margin-left: 20px">The following list shows the supported values:

-   0 – Not allowed.
-   1 (default) – Allowed.
