Bing's chatbot now lets you ask questions with your voice on desktop

Microsoft is bringing Bing's voice mode to Edge on the desktop. With this latest update, you can now ask Bing's chatbot questions using your voice – and it will answer in its own voice.

Like the feature on the mobile version of Edge, you can select the microphone button on Bing's chat box and then ask your question out loud. Microsoft says its chatbot currently supports English, Japanese, French, German, and Mandarin, but notes that additional languages are "on the way."

Microsoft's move to bring voice mode to Bing Chat on desktop comes as the company looks to shut down Cortana on Windows later this year. While Cortana lets users use voice commands to set timers, create reminders, open apps, and more, Microsoft is now pointing users toward Bing and its AI-powered Copilot that will be able to do more in Windows 11. is building as a capable replacement. .

When Windows Copilot launches to the public, it'll be live directly in your taskbar, where you can ask general questions, have it summarize the content you're viewing, adjust your PC's settings, and more. and much more.
