Microsoft’s Notepad and Snipping Tool Get AI Makeover: Perfect Shapes & Summaries or Just Another Gimmick?
Microsoft is testing an AI-powered “Summarize” feature in Notepad, now available for Windows 11 Insiders. Simply select text, right-click, and voilà—a summary appears! Perfect for those who think brevity is the soul of wit but can’t resist a good ramble. Now you can ramble, summarize, and repeat with ease!
Hot Take:
Well, it seems Microsoft is determined to make Notepad the Swiss Army knife of text editors. Who knew that the humble Notepad would become the Leonardo da Vinci of software, dabbling in AI text summarization and channeling its inner Picasso with the Snipping Tool’s “Draw & Hold” feature? Let’s just hope it doesn’t develop a superiority complex and start judging our spelling errors.
Key Points:
- Microsoft introduces the “Summarize” feature in Notepad for AI-powered text summarization.
- The “Draw & Hold” feature in Snipping Tool aids in drawing precise shapes.
- Notepad’s AI features can be disabled in settings if desired by the user.
- Users need to sign in with a Microsoft personal account to use the “Summarize” tool.
- Microsoft is also testing a “Recent Files” option and a text rewriting tool called “Rewrite”.
