What truly sets the Copilot+ PCs apart is their remarkable precision and flexibility. Users can now execute commands with ease, such as instructing their computer to “select the third paragraph and make it bold.” This responsiveness is particularly beneficial for individuals with limited mobility or those who prefer a hands-free experience—perfect for those moments when your hands are occupied, perhaps with a steaming cup of coffee.
Live Captions: Subtitles for your digital life
Understand more—without missing a moment.
Live Captions on Copilot+ PCs enhance your digital interactions by providing instant transcriptions for everything from calls to videos and podcasts. Whether you rely on captions for hearing support, maintaining focus, or following along in a different language, this feature makes it all feel seamless. With just a simple toggle, you can access real-time translations from 44 languages into English and from 27 into Simplified Chinese, allowing you to connect and learn without the need for subtitles.
Pro tip: Activate Live Captions during conversations with non-native speakers to enjoy real-time subtitles, enhancing clarity for both parties.
Immersive Reader: Customize the way you read
Less clutter. More clarity.
Microsoft’s Immersive Reader offers a suite of tools designed to transform dense text into a more digestible format, catering to various learning styles. With this feature, users can:
- Adjust text size and spacing
- Highlight each word as it is read aloud
- Break words into syllables
- Change background colors for improved contrast
The line focus feature dims everything on the page except for one, three, or five lines, allowing for concentrated reading without distractions. Additionally, the Read Aloud function converts any text into speech, which is particularly beneficial for those experiencing reading fatigue or seeking to enhance comprehension.
While these tools are especially advantageous for individuals with dyslexia, ADHD, low vision, or cognitive processing differences, they also simplify online reading for everyone.
Pro tip: Enable syllable separation in Immersive Reader for challenging words—it’s an excellent resource for language learners as well.
Narrator: Let your PC read it out loud—naturally
Voices so natural, you might forget it’s your computer.
For those moments when you wish to take a break from reading, the Narrator feature on Copilot+ PCs can read aloud the content displayed on your screen. With clear and expressive voices, it brings emails, articles, web pages, and reports to life. Users can customize the speed, pitch, and voice style to suit their preferences, whether they want to consume content quickly or savor it slowly. For those utilizing a braille display, Narrator integrates smoothly, offering responsive support.
Pro tip: Opt for a warm, conversational voice for lengthy reads—it’s akin to having a personal narrator at your service.
