explanation for non-techies**
Imagine you're in a meeting and you have a personal assistant sitting next to you, ready to help you with whatever you need. This assistant can listen to your ideas, help you draft documents, and even make sense of complex information, all by simply talking to them. This is similar to what Microsoft Copilot is now offering in Word and PowerPoint through voice support.
With this new feature, you can interact with Copilot using your voice, much like having a conversation with a colleague. If you're brainstorming ideas for a presentation, you can speak your thoughts out loud, and Copilot will help organize them into a coherent structure. It's like having a scribe who not only writes down what you say but also suggests improvements and additional content based on the context of your work and the information available on the web.
For instance, if you're working on a legal document in Word, you can ask Copilot to help you draft a section by explaining what you need. Copilot listens, understands the context, and suggests text that fits your requirements. It's similar to having a junior associate who knows the ins and outs of legal language and can draft initial versions for you to review.
In PowerPoint, if you're preparing a presentation for a board meeting, you can describe the key points you want to cover, and Copilot will help you create slides that highlight these points effectively. It's like having a graphic designer who knows exactly how to visually represent your ideas without you having to sketch them out first.
This voice support feature makes it easier to multitask and streamline your workflow. You can focus on the content and ideas, while Copilot handles the mechanics of document creation and presentation design. It's like having an extra pair of hands that understand your needs and work style, helping you be more productive and efficient.
