To use voice input, just press the microphone icon in the Bing AI chat box. This now brings the desktop version of Bing AI to parity with mobile version, which has had the option for voice input for a while.

Microsoft acknowledged this by saying, "We know many of you love using voice input for chat on Mobile", and suggested a fun phrase to kick your voice input experiments off with, "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?”.

Tongue twisters and voice inputs aren't the only way to communicate with Bing AI though; you can still use text prompts.
