Microsoft is still putting the final touches to the new feature, which must be available for users next month.
Microsoft Outlook Update
With the remote work boom during the pandemic, the ability to communicate effectively by email and chat based on text has become a vital attribute for employees. However, for many people, this is easier said than doing it.
Without voice intonation, body language and facial indications to add context to interactions, nuances are frequently lost and intended tried tone. Sarcasm, for example, is much harder to communicate through virtual channels, and feedback is difficult to mark it too critical.
Although the details are still scarce, it seems that the new feature of Outlook will intervene when someone is about to shoot a message that is likely to be misinterpreted in one way or another, as well as the monitoring of grammar and spelling errors.
In theory, Outlook’s tone detector will give users the opportunity to re-examine messages, which may have been composed of a hurry or in a state of frustration and makeup revisions if necessary – for the good of diplomacy.
Microsoft has said nothing about the underlying technology that will make the new feature of outlook possible, but Techradar Pro has asked for more clarification.
