Meet Cortana By Microsoft by viqueta(m): 1:20pm On Jul 14, 2014 |
Meet Cortana Cortana is your personal assistant on your Windows Phone. She's there to make things easier for you and make sure you're always up to date with the things that matter to you most. Ready to start? There are just a few things to do to get going with Cortana – like making sure she's switched on. See Getting started with Cortana to learn how, plus find out how you can get to her on your phone and introduce yourself. What do you need help with? Like any good personal assistant, Cortana is ready to help whenever you need it, and she has a wide repertoire of things she can do. (Have a look at What can I say to Cortana? for specific ideas about things you can ask her.) Here are just some of them: Get in touch and stay on track – Cortana can help you make calls and send texts, see what's on your calendar this weekend and add events to it, set alarms and take notes. Interests – The more you tell Cortana, the more she can help. Let her know what interests you and she'll go looking on the web for articles and posts about those things, and keep them ready for you when you go to Cortana or check the Tile. Did your favourite team win or did they get crushed? Is your flight running late? Keep on top of sport, news, entertainment, weather, health and more. Cortana even has interests that can give you a glance at your day or help you prepare for a trip. Remind me – Need a nudge? Cortana can remind you to do something at a specific time, a particular place or when you talk to a certain person. Get where you want to go – She'll give you help with directions or even let you know if traffic's so bad that you should leave early to make your next appointment. Quiet hours and inner circle – Cortana will make sure you don't get calls or texts when you don't want to be disturbed (except from the people you tell her to let through). Cortana's Notebook – Your interests , reminders, favourite places , the music you've searched for , your quiet hours and inner circle – Cortana's Notebook is where she keeps track of all the things you tell her about you. It's also where you'll find settings and where you go to turn Cortana off. When Cortana is on, some of the data in her Notebook synchronises to the cloud, where other Bing-powered services and apps will use it. To learn more, see the Managing Interests and Personalisation settings section in the Bing Privacy Statement. Get out on the town – Cortana can fill you in on events near you, help you pick a restaurant or tell you what's happening next month in Sao Paulo. Check the weather – Check the forecast for today. Or tomorrow. Or the week. In Dubai. Talk to me – You can chat with Cortana about whatever's on your mind. Ask her questions that you might ask a new friend, or tell her how you're feeling – she has opinions and stories to share. She'll even tell you a joke. Whenever you chat with Cortana, she's ready to help you and will search to find what you need. Tip You can use your voice to tell Cortana what you'd like to do, who to call, what to text and more. Or if you're somewhere you'd prefer to keep quiet, you can type your requests. Cortana will then refrain from answering you with her voice too. Notes Cortana is only available on phones with Windows Phone 8.1, and in some countries/regions . Check to see which software version you have and find out if an update is available. If Cortana isn't available, or you don't want to use it, you can still use the Speech functionality on your phone . To use Cortana, you'll need to sign in with the Microsoft account of someone over the age of 13.
