Microsoft has announced that intelligent features in Windows 11 such as Live Captions, Cocreator, Restyle Image, and Image Creator are now available on all Copilot+ PC devices powered by AMD Ryzen AI 300, Intel Core Ultra 200V, and Snapdragon X Series processors.
Advertisеment
In addition, the company is introducing improvements to the Voice Access feature. But at the moment only owners of devices with a Snapdragon X chip will be able to test them. Support for other Copilot+ PC devices will appear at the end of the year.
Advanced Copilot+ features
The developers strive to make Windows more accessible for users with visual, hearing, mobility and cognitive impairments.
Live Captions
Copilot+ PCs with AMD and Intel processors feature Live Captions, which enables real-time English translation of audio and video content, whether it's virtual meetings, podcasts, or video playback.
Along with this, Copilot+ PCs with Snapdragon X processors now support real-time translation of subtitles into Chinese (simplified). Devices with AMD and Intel chips will get this change soon.
Translation into English is supported from the following languages: Arabic, Basque, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Chinese (Cantonese), Chinese (Mandarin), Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, Galician, German, Greek, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Maltese, Norwegian, Pashto, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Somali, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese and Welsh.

Voice Access
Owners of Copilot+ PC devices with a Snapdragon X processor can now communicate with their computer using a more natural conversational language. Support for devices with AMD and Intel chips will be coming soon.
Microsoft expects this change to help address the challenges of learning the complex operations, commands, and syntax previously required for Voice Access. This is the first feature update to take advantage of the NPU in Copilot+ PCs.
Creative Options
AI-powered creative features previously only available on Copilot+ PCs with Snapdragon X processors are now available on devices powered by AMD and Intel chips.
Cocreator in Paint
The Cocreator feature offers users advanced drawing and image editing capabilities so you can bring your ideas to life by combining text queries and hand-drawn sketches on canvas. You can create complex designs, custom images, or professional-quality artwork. Cocreator turns Paint into a comprehensive platform for creative expression.
Restyle Image and Image Creator in Photos App
The Restyle Image feature allows you to transform photos into artistic interpretations such as oil paintings, sketches or modern styles in just a few clicks.
On the other hand, with the help of Image Creator, you can bring your idea to life by describing it in text. The function creates visual images based on detailed text queries, which makes the tool quite suitable for creating marketing materials, illustrations for storytelling, and much more.
To access these features, make sure Microsoft Paint and Photos are updated to the latest version through the Microsoft Store.
Availability of the new features
These intelligent features for Copilot+ PCs will be available with the optional Windows 11 March 2025 cumulative update. Please note that this update requires the optional November 2024 update to be installed. Over the next month, Microsoft will gradually enable these improvements for users through Controlled Feature Rollout (CFR).
If you want to be among the first to try out the new features, go to Settings > Windows Update and turn on the "Get the latest updates when they’re available" option. Then check for updates to download and install the optional March 2025 Update.
