Microsoft's Windows 10 packs virtual help Cortana that is ported from Windows Phone to PC that makes the new operating system get ahead of Apple and Google.
The Redmond-based tech company has high expectations with Cortana to improve the user experience when using personal computer, but an important concern is the commands handled by Cortana.
According to Lifehacker, before a customer uses Cortana, it is crucial to have a proper setup of the app. Commands are usable to the assistant verbally or through typing in the Start Menu. Cortana features an always-on listening alternative whereby the user has to ensure that the "Hey Cortana" option in the settings is enabled.
Users should also utilize other Microsoft applications for the assistant to go through the personal information and deliver precise answers, BGR reported.
Questions that Cortana can answer wholly depend on the type of Microsoft applications being used. Cortana can give precise responses about the weather, personal schedule, flight status, time needed to reach a destination, the direction of a place, showing individual notes, creating and moving appointments, setting and showing reminders, and setting and showing alarms.
Users can also ask Cortana some questions directly from the Start Menu for the assistant to answer through online searches. In conjunction with Bing, Cortana can deliver greater outcomes. The assistant is also incorporated into the Edge browser apart from the Start Menu.
It is also possible for customers to use Google rather than Bing. Information on Google products is accessible through Bing2Google extension that allows the user to harness the power of Google through Cortana.
