Copilot, Microsoft’s artificial intelligence assistant, offers a new way to interact with technology. Talking to a virtual assistant without touching the screen is a concept that until recently seemed taken from movies like Her, but now the idea of ​​a more natural connection with the devices we use in our daily lives is within reach. all of them. And now Microsoft has taken a step forward in this regard make Copilot voice mode available for free to all users regardless of geographic location or subscription plan. This movement is democratizing technology that was previously limited to certain markets and premium users, opening up new ways 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 smoother and more convenient user experience. This feature, 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 strives 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 some robotic nuances that could be tweaked in future updates.

Language support is limited to English for now. However, Microsoft has made it clear that it intends to expand this functionality to other languages ​​in the future, a move that will greatly increase its reach and usefulness. This could open up new opportunities for users in markets where English is not the primary language, expanding the global inclusion of its tools. This expansion would be in line with the multifaceted efforts Microsoft has been making for about a year and a half to solidify its position in the AI-based services market.

Activating voice mode in Copilot is simple. Users they just need to make sure they have the latest guide update installed on your devices. Once configured, Copilot allows you to perform tasks, answer questions and facilitate interactions using voice commands, offering a truly hands-free experience. This type of interaction is particularly useful in situations where using hands is not practical, such as driving or performing other tasks at the same time.

For users, this update means a more convenient and easier way to interact with your devicesremoves barriers and offers tools that are integrated into everyday life. The ability to use voice commands transforms the technological experience into something more natural, especially in moments when it is important to be hands-free, but it is quite clear that the goal pursued by Microsoft, among others, is what Her showed us, at least in terms of the way how we interact (the other aspects are still distant) will become our reality sooner rather than later.
