According to Microsoft, Outlook Lite caters to the communication requirements of people in developing markets by providing SMS as well as assistance for Indian spoken languages. With services such as voice typing, transcription, and support for local languages, users may create and review emails in their favourite language with ease. Outlook Lite allows users to dictate emails in Hindi, compose emails in Tamil and then have them instantly translated to English, or view emails in Gujarati.

The software is now compatible with Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, and Marathi, as well as Gujarati, further languages may be added later.

By classifying messages such as transactions, advertisements, and interpersonal connections, the application also makes SMS texting simpler. Its simplified inbox makes it easier for customers to remember appointments, make travel reservations, pay bills and reserve fuel.

Users may quickly navigate between categories and read pertinent messages in one location.

This Function Comes With Functionalities Like Reminders, Trip & Gas Bookings And Many More

Additionally, this function will notify customers of upcoming appointments, reservations for trips, bills, and petrol, all of which often go overlooked in the deluge of information.

According to Rajiv Kumar, Managing Director, Microsoft India Development Centre, Outlook Lite attempts to give consumers a more practical and customised approach to remain informed and complete tasks.

Outlook Lite will eventually enable users to translate SMS messages into various languages, making it simple to comprehend messages in one language and move between them. Users who connect with people from various locations or communicate in numerous languages may find this function especially useful.

Rajiv Kumar, Managing Director of Microsoft India Development Centre and Corporate Vice President of Microsoft’s Experiences and Devices, India Group, said “The evolution of Outlook Lite embodies our dedication to fostering inclusive digital experiences tailored for diverse communities in India. With SMS integration and vernacular language support, Outlook Lite redefines communication accessibility and provides users with a more convenient & personalized experience.”
