G'day Reader,
Voice is rapidly becoming the preferred way to interact with AI. The stats back it up - voice input is 3x faster than typing, captures emotional nuance, and breaks down accessibility barriers.
But here's what makes this especially powerful for us in the Microsoft 365 world:
Voice fundamentally changes how we work with Copilot.
Why voice works better with AI Traditional text prompts lose tone, emotion, and context. Voice captures all of that. When you speak to Copilot, you're giving it the rich context that makes AI responses more nuanced and tailored - exactly what language models need to perform at their best.
โMy Copilot + voice experience Since switching to voice (I have been testing and using Wisprflow), three things have changed for me.
- Speed: Interacting with Agents, drafting reports, building automation - all 3x faster
- Quality: Outputs are more conversational and authentic, matching how I actually communicate
- Workflow: I've moved from a "search" mindset to a "conversation" mindset with Copilot
Real-world impact.
In M365, voice is transforming how we work with Copilot - making it more accessible for users who struggle with typing or work in hands-busy environments.
This mirrors the voice-first revolution we're already seeing in smart homes and healthcare. Doctors use it for hands-free note-taking. Productivity apps transcribe and summarize meetings in real-time. The enterprise shift is happening now.
The challenges.
Yes, accuracy can vary with background noise. Yes, some people prefer typing in public spaces. But when offered as a complementary option, voice dramatically improves the experience.
See it in action.

The future is voice-first.
As AI models get better at understanding context and emotion, voice will likely become the dominant interface. We're already seeing this shift in consumer tech - enterprise is next.
Try it next time.
Next time you use Copilot, try speaking your prompt instead of typing (you can also try Windows + H). Explain what you need like you're talking to a colleague. The difference in output quality might surprise you.
Have you experimented with voice prompts in any AI tools? Hit reply - I'm genuinely curious: Are you team voice or still team keyboard?
