Bing Chat on Desktop now comes with a new voice feature, making chatting easier and faster without typing.
You can just talk, and Bing Chat will answer like a real conversation.
In this blog, you will learn how to use the new voice feature, what makes it helpful for busy people, and simple steps to start using voice chat for better communication.
What is Bing Chat?
Bing Chat is an all-in-one multimedia communication app that lets users text, video chat, and interact with each other in real time. Its simple and intuitive interface offers an enjoyable chatting experience across devices.
From personal use to team collaboration and business communication, Bing Chat packs a handy mix of features to help you have more productive conversations.
Typical Usage of Bing Chat on Desktop:
For the desktop version, Bing Chat usually provides a message-based system in the form of text. It offers one-on-one conversations but also group chats, which make it useful for casual conversations as well as professional ones.
The desktop interface is far more spacious than the mobile one, and it’s easy to navigate through the conversation list and shared files. Formatting options make messages more colorful and enjoyable.
The Introduction of Voice Chat:
You can now speak to it! This functionality connects text-based exchanges and real-time, voice-to-voice communication, providing a more natural experience.
Integrating voice chat into the experience has some advantages. For starters, it injects a human element into the conversation, enabling users to communicate with emotive nuance that flat text often lacks.
This allows for engagement and interaction that enriches conversation and encourages open dialogue. It also benefits people who feel talking is more manageable than typing, allowing Bing Chat to be available and inclusive to a broader user group.
How to Enable and Use Voice Chat on Bing Desktop
Enabling voice chat in Bing Chat on your desktop is easy, and you’ll gain a more natural, hands-free interaction experience. Start Microsoft Edge and go to the Bing Chat interface.
When the voice function is available, you’ll see a microphone symbol inside the chat window. Press the microphone to give permission to access your mic. Once it is enabled, you will need to start speaking your queries instead of typing.
Voice chat is more conversational and treats gaming as more of a “low-key” social experience. It may also be good for multitasking or when typing on a console is cumbersome.
Keep your phrases clear and include lag between sentences for Bing’s response. You can use voice or text chat interchangeably at any time, making your chat personal.
Tips for Better Conversations with Bing Chat
Follow these simple tips for more effective and accurate interactions with Bing Chat—particularly when leveraging voice input. Speaking helps Bing better understand your questions and provide relevant responses.
Speak Clearly and Naturally
Use a steady tone and do not mumble. Using natural language allows Bing Chat to understand your queries correctly to a better extent than typing them directly, particularly using voice capabilities.
Take a brief pause between sentences for Bing to generate responses without confusion.
Be Specific with Your Questions
The more specific your question, the better the answer. The first question is a mess, and you should rather give some context or details that make Bing Chat understand exactly what you need, especially when looking for answers on complex topics or doing research tasks.
Use Follow-Up Questions for Clarity
Bing Chat accepts follow-up questions so that exchanges can feel more organic. If the first response is overly general or incomplete, don’t be shy to prompt for clarification or ask for more details.
