Description
Interact in real time with podcasts created by Copilot in Word. Today, audio summaries help you absorb content on the go, but they’re one-way—listeners can’t clarify or explore without stopping. With this feature, you can ask questions with your voice while listening and get answers instantly, staying in the audio experience and understanding content faster.
