Total Recall
Microsoft has just unveiled a forthcoming Windows AI feature to help users « recall » all their past activities — by recording everything they do in real-time.
As Microsoft explains on its website, the feature — which is called « Recall » and is still being tested — takes « images of your active screen every few seconds. »
« The snapshots are encrypted and saved on your PC’s hard drive, » the description continues. « You can use Recall to locate the content you have viewed on your PC using search or on a timeline bar that allows you to scroll through your snapshots. »
This functionality, as Ars Technica explains, extends beyond mere snapshots of your screen to include on-demand transcription and translation of video meetings and can show provide context for what they were doing during a given moment.
