Selecting Content
Using Click to Do is quite simple: Just select anything on the screen — text, images, or video. When you select the content, the Click to Do menu is displayed.
Visual Search
By choosing an image, Windows will access Microsoft Bing to find similar images or look for corresponding context. Well, this is great for quickly identifying objects, places, or products.
Summarizing or Rewriting Text
Click to Do can summarize or rewrite the text when you select the text. This is particularly useful for documents when summarising or transcribing emails.
Sending Emails
The email message can also be sent directly through the selected content. All you have to do is select the option to send it and boom the content is inputted into your email body and it can be sent.
Enhanced Search with AI
Microsoft also has made search better on Windows 11. Its new AI-powered search lets you search for files or images just by describing them. For instance, entering “BBQ party” in the search box will give us the related files and images without needing to recall exact filenames.
