Turn voice notes into documents with Copilot in Word for iOS. Open the Word app, select New (+), and Use Copilot. Choose a language and format, record your voice note, and Copilot generates a document. Available for users with a Copilot license running Version 2.96 (Build 25041112) or later.

Brainstorm out loud and let your ideas flow freely. Copilot helps you go from voice notes to structured documents. In Word Copilot on iOS you can speak your ideas aloud and choose how you want to structure them into a document format. 

Open the Word app on your iPhone. Select the New (+) button, and then select the Use Copilot link below the Search box.  

Choose your preferred language, then choose a format from three pre-set modes:

• Document (a document with sections and headings)
• Notes (a document with paragraphs)
• Email (a document with an email body and sign-off).  

NOTE: You can also create a custom format by selecting the Create New Mode button, giving the new mode a name, and then providing a prompt description of the format you’d like Copilot to follow. You can change your language and format at any time while recording or after you’ve finished recording.

Tap the microphone button to begin recording. When you’ve finished recording, select Done in the lower right-hand corner to have Copilot generate a document based on your voice note and pre-set preferences.

When this will happen:

General Availability (Worldwide): Rollout has begun and expected to complete by early December 2025.

How this will affect your organization:

If you’ve typed out or formatted documents on your iPhone before, you know how difficult it can be to get the details right; your thoughts are either running faster than your fingers are typing, or the small screen size is making even the simplest tasks feel complex.

This support now simplifies the document generation process with voice and Copilot to make it easier than ever to get your thoughts into a polished format. 

What you need to do to prepare:
