Even Microsoft Notepad Is Getting AI Text Editing Now

Microsoft is introducing a feature to Notepad called Rewrite that will let you use AI to 'rephrase sentences, adjust tone, and modify the length of your content.' The Verge reports: If you're a Windows Insider with early access to the feature, you can try it by highlighting the text you want to adjust in Notepad, right-clicking it, and choosing Rewrite. Notepad will then display a dialogue box where you can decide how they want to change their text -- for example, if it needs to be longer or shorter. Rewrite will then offer three rewritten versions that you can replace your work with.

It's worth noting that you'll have to sign in to your Microsoft account to use Rewrite, as it's 'powered by a cloud-based service that requires authentication and authorization.' Microsoft is launching this feature in preview on Windows 11 in the US, France, UK, Canada, Italy, and Germany. In July, Microsoft rolled out spellcheck and autocorrect for Notepad.
