Copilot onWindows 11, andWindows 10devices will now generally support the read-aloud feature, effectively making the AI tool more accessible to larger categories of people, including those with disabilities.
Spotted by tech enthusiast,@Leopeva64, the feature is gradually rolled out to the general public these weeks. The feature was first teased back in November 2023, when Microsoft released it to Windows Dev and Canary within the Windows Insider Program.
The read-aloud feature will allow users to get Copilot to read the task inquiries, effectively making it more accessible and versatile, not only to people with disabilities but also to those who don’t want to read the results.
Fortunately, there won’t be any update to install in order to access this feature, as Microsoft will update Copilot automatically with it in the following weeks. Chances are, you might already have the feature integrated into your Windows Copilot. Want to know if it’s there? Follow along.
How to use the Windows Copilot’s read-aloud feature?
You can pause the read-aloud feature by clicking the same button, and it will stop.
The feature should be out to all Windows users, (except, of course, those who don’t have access to Copilot yet, such asEU Windows users), in the next weeks, as the Redmond-based tech giant is rolling it out.
Speaking of Copilot, Microsoft announced the release ofCopilot Prowhich offers advanced AI capabilities, besides the existing ones, for a $20/month subscription. Copilot Pro also introducesCopilot GPT Builder, a special tool that lets users create Copilots with just a prompt.
Microsoft promised 2024 will be the year of AI, and so far, the Redmond-based tech giant is keeping its promises.
