About this tag
Scripted mode is a new verbatim text-to-speech option within Microsoft Copilot Labs' Audio Expressions feature. Unlike the existing Emotive and Story modes, scripted mode reads user-provided text exactly as written, offering a predictable and no-nonsense speech output. This mode is powered by Microsoft's first-party voice model, MAI-Voice-1, which can generate a full minute of audio in under one second. The feature is designed for creators, accessibility users, and enterprise pilots who need clean, accurate audio without expressive variation. Scripted mode was publicly teased by Microsoft AI chief Mustafa Suleyman on September 10, 2025, and represents a practical addition to Copilot's multimodal capabilities.
