Microsoft Copilot (Microsoft 365): Real-time voice interactions in a podcast in Word

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.

What changed

Audio Overview in Word now supports real-time voice interactions, allowing listeners to ask questions and receive immediate answers without pausing or switching apps. Previously, audio summaries were one-way experiences requiring manual searches to explore content further. This update maintains continuous listening while enabling dynamic, conversational engagement.
