CBers 6769 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Alexa and Google Home are enough, plus I already have Cortona on the Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef 3745 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 You know I would definitely consider switching from Alexa to Cortana. Only because my living room client is Xbox one, and I bet the MS SDKs for Cortana are a little more of what I'm use to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharleyVarrick 277 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 The latest generation of Intel NUC are "Cortana ready", with a microphone array on the front panel. But being a privacy advocate, I disabled voice recognition feature. A few months back, I was in the living room, Win10 was on the htpc, I was eating chips, when I saw notification appear with a message like: "crunch-crunch., mmm good, what are we eating" I was paralyzed for a moment, thinking my pc was listening in on me... Seems its just a generic message to get you interested in Cortana feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alonson 0 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Microsoft encourages developers to use the Cortana voice assistant in their mobile and desktop apps. You can provide the users with an opportunity to set a voice control without directly calling Cortana. In the Cortana Dev Center, it describes how to make a request to a specific application. Basically, it offers three ways to integrate the app name into a voice command: Prefixal Prefixal, when the app name stands in front of the speech command, e.g., 'Fitness Time, choose a workout for me!' Infixal Infixal, when the app name is placed in the middle of the vocal command, e.g., 'Set a Fitness Time workout for me, please!' Suffixal Suffixal, when the app name is put to the end of a command phrase, e.g., 'Adjust some workout in Fitness Time!' You can activate either the background or foreground app with speech commands through Cortana. The first type is suitable for apps with simple commands that don't require additional instructions, e.g., 'Show the current date and time!'. The second - for the apps that work with more complex commands, like 'Send the Hello message to Ann'. In the last case, besides setting the command, you specify its parameters: What message? - Hello message Who should it be sent to? - To Ann.
