Microsoft’s 30-Year Quest for AI-Powered Windows Input Revolution

Microsoft executives reflect on 30 years of voice technology development since Windows 95’s speech API, acknowledging past limitations while positioning new AI capabilities as potentially transformative. The company’s consumer CMO suggests AI could represent the first major input revolution since the mouse, despite previous voice-centric technologies failing to gain mainstream traction.

Windows 95’s Overlooked Voice Technology Legacy

As Windows 95 recently passed its 30th anniversary, Microsoft executives are reflecting on one of its least-remembered innovations: built-in voice capabilities. According to reports, the operating system introduced the Microsoft Speech API (SAPI), providing support for speech recognition and synthesis that allowed developers to create applications that could speak and be spoken to. However, sources indicate this early voice technology failed to revolutionize how people used Microsoft products, setting a pattern that would continue for decades.
