How to Change Copilot Voice Language in Windows 11
Ever wondered why you’d want to change Copilot’s voice language? Microsoft Copilot is your AI assistant, ready to help with tasks and answer questions. It can even chat with you using its voice. By default, it tries to guess your language, but you have the option to choose a specific one if you prefer.
Open the Copilot app or website, click Preferences, and select your desired language from the dropdown menu. You can also change this during a voice conversation by clicking the gear icon or within Microsoft Edge settings. Auto-detect is the default option.
What happens when you change the voice language? Copilot will start speaking to you in the language you select, rather than relying on auto-detect.
This guide will walk you through how to change the language Copilot uses for voice interactions. You can make these adjustments in Microsoft Edge, on the Copilot website, and within Windows 11.
Microsoft Copilot uses smart technology to understand what you say and have conversations with you. You can even use voice commands to chat with it naturally.
Right now, Copilot is set to auto-detect your voice language by default. However, you can set it to always use a specific voice language if that’s what you’d prefer.
