Drew1903 · Oct 27, 2024

Oct. 27, 2024I have mentioned both of these things in separate threads, but they both have one thing in common. They both happened, simultaneously, today.Copilot voicing has been broken for several days in both web & app. This was fixed today.The Copilot icon in the Edge tool bar was pre-Redesign, as was what it opened. Today, this has been updated to the Redesign, as seen here Cheers,Drew

Edge vs Copilot vs Windows "Read aloud" / "Text to speech" settings are confusing

Hello Rikus Lategan, welcome to the Microsoft community.

Based on your feedback, you've encountered issues with EDGE, Copilot, and Windows text-to-speech functionality.

In this situation, you can try the following steps to resolve the text-to-speech settings issue for Edge, Copilot, and Windows:

Change Edge browser's voice settings:

Open the Edge browser and go to settings.

Search for voice in settings, find the relevant options, and change it to your preferred voice.

Change Windows text-to-speech settings:

Go to Windows' voice settings.

There, you can change the system-wide voice and language settings, including the default text-to-speech voice.

Confirm Copilot's voice settings:

Open Copilot and look for options regarding voice settings.

Make sure to select the voice you like, you can try changing it to other available voices.

Identify the voice of the South African lady:

If you want to know who the South African lady's voice is, you can try searching for information on South African English text-to-speech synthesis.

Avoid duplicate readings:

Make sure not to enable Edge browser's text-to-speech functionality while using Copilot to avoid two voices trying to read the same text.

By following the above steps, you should be able to better manage the voice settings for Edge, Copilot, and Windows, as well as resolve the issue of duplicate readings.

Wish you luck in finding the voice settings that suit you!

Hope the above information is helpful to you.

Copilot added to DevTools in Microsoft Edge

We’re very excited to announce that, starting with Microsoft Edge 120, we’re making a new experimental DevTools feature available to all. You can now ask DevTools to explain any error or warning, and any code snippet by using Copilot in Edge. Whether you’re new to web development or have already been building websites, errors and warnings in the DevTools Console is something you probably deal with all the time. While some errors make sense and help you correct bugs, some can be very obscure or even scary. Can you confidently say what the following errors mean, without searching? Code:

Access to fetch at 'Your request has been blocked. This could be due to several reasons.' from origin 'https://microsoftedge.github.io' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.

Uncaught (in promise) SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<', "<!DOCTYPE "... is not valid JSON.

Uncaught TypeError: Converting circular structure to JSON.

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot define property x, object is not extensible.

These errors can very often feel cryptic, especially when learning web development. But they also play a very important role in learning. They’re how the browser tells you something’s wrong, where it’s wrong, and perhaps how to fix the problem. Unlike other languages, JavaScript doesn’t require a compilation step to run. C++ or Rust, for example, give you a lot of information at compilation time. With JavaScript, these runtime errors in the DevTools console are often your only way to know something’s wrong. But let’s face it, compilers and JS engines are similar in that they don’t always make it easy to understand what they’re trying to say. Common solutions include:

Searching for the error message online, hoping to find a useful answer.

Or asking a coworker for help.

Unfortunately, this doesn’t always lead to a good solution. For instance, what if no one has written a clear explanation for your particular problem online? What if you don’t have a coworker who can help you right now? What if you’re focused on your code and don’t want to get distracted by going to another website? Given the right context, Copilot in Edge can reason about complex problems and easily find custom solutions for them. If you use Microsoft Edge for your web development, you already have access to Copilot in Edge. You can already use Copilot in the Microsoft Edge sidebar to generate text or images, or search for web results. Starting with Microsoft Edge version 120, you can now ask Copilot to explain console errors and warnings, as well as source code, right from where you need it in DevTools!

With Copilot in Edge integrated into DevTools you can:

Ask Copilot to explain any error or warning displayed in the Console. Just click the Copilot button next to an error:

Ask Copilot to explain any snippet of code selected in the Sources tool. Just select some code, right-click, and choose Copilot: Explain these lines of code:

When you do any of these two actions, the Copilot in Edge sidebar appears, and a conversation about the error, warning, or code that you selected starts. DevTools provides all the context that Copilot needs to reason about the particular problem you’re facing. Copilot generates an explanation, and you can then keep conversing if you want to keep on learning. We’re excited about the possibilities and truly believe that AI, when applied responsibly to specific web development problems, can be a very effective ally. This is only the beginning, and we have more ideas. But first, we’d love for you to try this new experimental feature and let us know what you think. To learn more about enabling the experiment and using the feature, read the docs at Explain errors and source code in Copilot in Edge. The feature is still under active development and you might need to enable it, before being able to use it. If you have any questions, comments, or feedback about the feature, please leave a comment on this GitHub issue.

None of the methods to disable Copilot work, can't even hide it

The reg files do nothing. Copilot is not in the list of things you can turn on or off with the policy editor.

I suggest you post your question in the tutorial thread to find out if Brink or the other tutorial participants can help you Enable or Disable Copilot - TenForumsTutorials Best of luck, Denis
