Microsoft Copilot introduces scripted mode in Audio Expressions

Microsoft Copilot has updated its Audio Expressions feature with a new scripted mode powered by their in-house AI models. The feature is able to read out written text in a variety of styles in terms of emotions, personalities and style. 

Copilot Audio Expressions is under Copilot Labs and allows users to adjust it so the voice matches the prompt, “whether it calls for a gentle tone for a bedtime story, an upbeat message for a motivational pep talk, or theatrical flair for an epic adventure.”

Users can also choose from a range of different options under styles including vampire, dragon or witch. 

There’s also Story Mode which includes multiple vocal styles for an engaging storytelling experience for kids or students. 

Last month, Microsoft AI also announced their homegrown AI models, one of which, MA-Voice-1 AI is a voice model and could generate a minute’s worth of audio within a second. The AI model was made available for preview under Copilot.
