If you’ve ever struggled to keep up with what someone said on a video, wished your computer could understand your voice better, or just wanted tech that adapts to you—Microsoft’s Copilot+ PCs might be your new best friend.
These AI-powered computers are designed with accessibility in mind, helping people of all abilities get more done, express themselves creatively, and navigate digital life more easily. Whether you have a disability or simply appreciate smart tech that makes life smoother, you’ll find something to love here.
What exactly is a Copilot+ PC?
In short: it’s a Windows computer with supercharged AI built in.
But unlike traditional PCs, Copilot+ PCs have a specialized AI chip (called an NPU), or Neural Processing Unit) that helps them run advanced tasks locally and instantly—no waiting on the cloud.
That means:
They’re built for how we really use tech today: multitasking, creating, navigating, and trying to keep up with the pace of life.
Let’s talk about AI accessibility features
Here’s where Copilot+ PCs really shine. Microsoft has packed in AI accessibility tools that make everyday tasks easier for everyone—whether you’re hard of hearing, have mobility challenges, or just want to work hands-free once in a while.1,2
Live captions
Automatically transcribe speech from video, apps, or even your microphone in Windows 11, with support for translating 44 languages into English.1 Live captions work offline and are customizable for size and position. This tool is great for accessibility—and for working in loud or multilingual environments.
Voice access
You can control your PC entirely with your voice. Open apps, click buttons, dictate emails—it’s smooth, fast, and designed to understand natural language. Whether you have a motor disability or just want to give your wrists a break, it’s incredibly empowering.2
Recall
Ever wish you could remember what you saw on your screen last Tuesday? Now you can. Recall uses on-device AI to let you search your past activity like a memory timeline.3 It’s especially helpful for people with memory or cognitive challenges—but honestly, who hasn’t forgotten where they saw something online?
Cocreator
Describe what you want to see—like “a dog riding a skateboard at sunset”—and this AI art tool in Paint will bring it to life.4 It helps users express ideas visually without needing traditional design skills, which is huge for people with motor or visual impairments.
Click to Do
This clever feature gives you instant action buttons—think smart shortcuts—that understand what you’re doing and offer help right when you need it. No digging through menus or searching for how-to steps.5
Copilot Vision
Need a hand with what’s on your screen? Just ask. Copilot Vision understands what you’re looking at and helps you take action—no clicks needed. And with Voice, and it’s all hands-free.6
Built for everyone, inspired by real life
The accessibility tools built into Copilot+ PCs and Windows 11 aren’t just nice add-ons—they’re part of Microsoft’s broader mission to create tech that works for everyone. Through initiatives like Microsoft AI for Accessibility, the company supports developers, researchers, and nonprofits that are innovating for people with disabilities. These efforts have shaped real-world tools that now live right inside your PC.
What’s more, Copilot+ PCs are built using inclusive design principles. That means working with people who have disabilities from the start, testing with diverse users, and refining features based on real feedback. And the result? Tools that feel more intuitive and helpful not just for people with disabilities, but for everyone.
Because when accessibility is prioritized, everyone benefits. Captions help when you forget headphones. Voice access comes in handy when your hands are full. And tools like Recall help us all stay a little more organized in a busy world.
What’s next for accessibility and AI?
Microsoft isn’t slowing down. From AI tools that understand emotion to real-time translation and gesture controls, the future looks even more inclusive.
Plus, with open collaboration through the AI for Good Lab and Microsoft’s developer community, expect even more tools that adapt to the ways people really live and work.
Accessibility for all
Making tech more accessible doesn’t just help a few people—it makes tech better for everyone. Copilot+ PCs are proof of that. With thoughtful AI features and powerful accessibility tools built right into Windows 11, these PCs are designed for humans—not just users.
Explore Copilot+ PCs, try the features, and share your feedback. Because when technology works for all of us, we all move forward.
