Copilot, Microsoft’s artificial intelligence assistant, offers a new way to interact with technology. Talking to a virtual assistant without having to touch the screen is a concept that, until recently, seemed taken from movies like Her but, now, that idea of a more natural connection with the devices we use in our daily lives is within reach of everyone. And now Microsoft has taken a step forward in this regard by make Copilot voice mode accessible, free of charge, to all users, regardless of geographic location or subscription plan. This movement democratizes a technology that was previously limited to certain markets and premium users, opening up new possibilities to interact with technology in a more natural and intuitive way.
With this update, Microsoft allows users to interact with Copilot using voice commands in English, facilitating a much more fluid and practical user experience. This functionality, similar to what ChatGPT already offers in its voice interaction mode, includes four different models —Meadow, Wave, Grove and Canyon—each with a specific style and tone that seeks to offer a more personalized and engaging interaction. The ability to choose between different voice models is undoubtedly an effort to improve the user experience. However, while the technology is moving towards a more human approach, some users have pointed out that the voice mode still has certain robotic nuances that could be refined in future updates.
Language support, for now, is limited to English. However, Microsoft has made it clear that it intends to expand this functionality to other languages in the future, a step that will significantly increase its reach and usefulness. This could open up new opportunities for users in markets where English is not the primary language, thus expanding the global inclusion of its tools. This expansion would be consistent with the multiple efforts that Microsoft has been carrying out, for around a year and a half, to consolidate its position in the market for AI-based services.
Activating voice mode in Copilot is simple. The users they just need to make sure they have the latest wizard update installed on your devices. Once configured, Copilot allows you to perform tasks, answer questions and facilitate interactions with voice commands, offering a truly hands-free experience. This type of interaction is especially useful for situations where using your hands is not practical, such as when driving or performing other tasks at the same time.
For users, this update means a more convenient and simple way to interact with your deviceseliminating barriers and offering tools that are integrated into everyday life. The possibility of using voice commands transforms the technological experience into something more natural, especially at times when having your hands free is crucial, but it is quite clear that the objective pursued by Microsoft, among others, is that what Her showed us , at least in terms of the way we interact (other aspects are still distant), will become our reality sooner rather than later.
