Microsoft Message
Audio Overviews on PDFs in the Microsoft 365 Copilot mobile app allows commercial users to turn PDF content into an AI-generated, two-person, podcast-style audio overview. It is designed to help users understand lengthy documents without having to read through every page, particularly when they want to consume content hands-free.
Users open a PDF in the mobile app and select the headphone entry point. Copilot then generates an audio overview of the document that users can listen to within the app
