Description
Interact in real time with read aloud in Word with Copilot. While your document is being read aloud, you can ask questions with your voice—such as “What does this mean?” or “Summarize this section”—and get answers instantly. No need to pause and search manually. This keeps you in context, reduces interruptions, and helps you understand and act faster.
