Bing's chat AI supports voice input in Japanese, I actually asked AI with a microphone



Microsoft has delivered an update to Edge for the desktop that gives you access to Bing's voice mode. With this update, you can now use your voice to ask questions to Bing Chat, an interactive AI chat integrated with Bing. Also, I heard that it also supports Japanese, so I actually used a microphone to ask Bing Chat a question in Japanese.

According to Microsoft, Bing's voice mode supports English, Japanese, French, German, and Chinese at the time of article creation, and more languages will be supported in the future. In addition to voice recognition, it also supports text-to-speech answers.

In order to actually use the speech recognition function, I tried accessing Bing with Edge. Click 'Chat' at the top.



When you look at the input field of Bing Chat, the microphone icon is displayed on the right end, so click it.



A pop-up will appear asking for permission to use the microphone, so click 'Allow'.



You are now ready.



Below is the place where I actually asked Bing Chat 'the total amount of gold that exists on the earth'. It recognizes Japanese without any problem and reads out the search results aloud, but it seems to be weak in reading kanji, and sometimes reads gold as 'kane'. Also, since it is just summarizing the search results in bing as it is, he also read out the mysterious information that 'about 1.25 trillion in terms of bananas'.

This time, I asked him to try a tongue twister with the Bing Chat style set to 'more creative.' It is also possible to have a casual conversation instead of searching for information.

Microsoft has already developed 'Cortana' as a voice assistant AI, but it is officially announced that Cortana's standalone application for Windows desktop will be discontinued in the future.
