Microsoft brings new Bing’s Voice Chat feature to Edge on desktop

Microsoft is set to integrate the new Bing Voice Chat feature into the Edge browser on a desktop. This new update will allow users to ask the Bing chatbot questions using their voice — and it will respond in a voice of its own. The feature is already available on the Edge mobile app. The desktop version will also allow users to select the microphone button on Bing’s chat box and then ask their questions aloud. Recently, Microsoft has noted that its chatbot currently supports a handful of languages. This includes English, Japanese, French, German and Mandarin. The company also adds that additional languages are “on the way.”

How this can replace Cortana
The company has already announced its decision to discontinue Cortana on Windows later this year. Microsoft’s move to bring voice mode to Bing Chat on a desktop can be a good replacement for the same. Cortana helped users to set timers, create reminders, open applications and more using voice commands.
