New Delhi: Microsoft is all set to incorporate Cortana-enabled voice capabilities to its Outlook mobile app which will let users dictate their emails, schedule meetings and search.
Available in Outlook for iOS first, a new icon in Outlook mobile will appear to activate the voice mode where the users can also respond to messages with their voice and write new emails.
As weekly meetings have increased by 148 per cent, with the average time to schedule a meeting taking six to 29 minutes, Scheduler which is a new Microsoft 365 service is now made available to the users, Microsoft said in a statement on Tuesday.
Scheduler, the first artificial intelligence service with a human assistance in Microsoft 365, allows Cortana to work without specific keywords.
"Scheduler understands what you write, so you can word your requests to Cortana just as you would when asking any person for assistance scheduling a meeting in an email," the company said.
As Scheduler learns, you may receive responses from Cortana asking you to clarify certain asks or to provide more details in order to complete your request.
"With Scheduler, Cortana has access to the same information you do you when scheduling meetings, including you and your colleague's Outlook free/busy availability without having access to any further details," Microsoft said in its statement.
