Microsoft is bringing Bing Voice Mode to the edge on desktop with this latest update, you can now ask the Bing chatbot questions using your voice and it will answer in its own voice.
Just like the feature in the mobile version of Edge, you can select the microphone button in a Bing chat box and then ask your question out loud. Microsoft says its chatbot currently supports English, Japanese, French, German, and Mandarin, but note additional languages are “on the way.”
Microsoft’s move to bring voice mode to Bing Chat on desktop comes as the company plans to roll out Cortana on Windows later this year. While Cortana lets users use voice commands to set timers, create reminders, open apps, and more, Microsoft guides users. Now they’re turning to Bing and the AI-powered Copilot built into Windows 11 as more capable alternatives.
When Windows Copilot is launched to the public, it will be right on your taskbar, where you can ask general questions, summarize the content you’re watching, and adjust your PC’s settings.
