Microsoft is adding voice control to Windows 11

Microsoft is taking another step towards transforming Windows 11 PCs into AI computers by adding new Copilot capabilities, including voice control of the operating system.

The company highlights three key AI computer skills. First, it must understand the user and allow natural interaction through text or voice. Second, the AI ​​must see the same as the user and provide appropriate support. And finally, it should be able to perform actions on its own — but only with the user’s permission to ensure Windows 11 security.

“We believe this move to spoken input will be as transformative as the mouse and keyboard in unlocking new PC capabilities for the widest range of people,” the company said in a statement.

To enable these capabilities, Microsoft introduces Copilot Voice and Vision. By using the phrase “Hey Copilot”, users will be able to give the AI ​​access to their screen and ask it to perform various tasks on its own, or give advice or list all the necessary steps.

Copilot Vision is now available to all Windows 11 users worldwide. It allows you to share your screen with AI, like during online meetings, get advice on tasks or analyze documents and presentations without viewing them. Insiders will also be able to communicate with Copilot Vision via text rather than just voice.

To use Copilot Voice, you must first enable it in the Copilot app settings. The AI ​​will then respond to the “Hey Copilot” command. You can end the conversation by saying “Bye” or pressing “X”, and the AI ​​will automatically close the chat after a few seconds of inactivity. During the chat, users can ask any questions about what is happening on the screen or ask to find a specific product.

Windows chief Pavan Davuluri expressed his vision for voice control back in August. Microsoft sees voice as the third primary way to interact with a PC, complementing the mouse and keyboard rather than replacing them entirely. Time will tell how much users will actively use this feature.

In addition, Microsoft is adding a new feature “Ask Copilot” to the Windows 11 taskbar. The company wants the chatbot to become a natural part of your PC and always be nearby. The taskbar should become “a dynamic hub that helps you achieve more with less, turning everyday interactions into moments of productivity and satisfaction.”

This option, which users can opt out of, also provides quick access to Copilot Vision and Voice with just one click of the mouse.

In addition, the company said that the Copilot Actions feature, introduced in May, will soon be available to Windows Insiders and Copilot Lab users. It allows the chatbot to perform actions directly on local Windows 11 files, such as extracting information from a PDF or performing tasks based on the context of the data on the user’s computer.

Also, members of the Windows Insider program will have access to Copilot Connectors, which allow you to connect services such as OneDrive, Outlook and Google. This allows AI to find and analyze your files, email, and personal schedule.

In the future, Microsoft plans to introduce even more artificial intelligence features into the system, while users will be able to choose which ones to use and which ones to ignore, while maintaining control over security.
