Guest Chibiuk Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Apologies if this is the wrong place or is already in another thread. Whats everyones thoughts on Cortana so far? Some commands are now more long winded and less helpful than before, which is a little baffling. Saying a friends name for a message has been mostly hit and a little miss as some peoples names don't work, I also have two people with the same name and Cortana will only pick the same one every time. While the commands in general are much better and she learns with time etc etc its VERY slow compared to Kinect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UberPirateNinja Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I disabled it and went back to the 'Xbox' command as soon as they gave us the option. I found it more long winded to say the commands, it seemed more hit & miss to me, and a lot of the time it would Bing what you'd asked. But mostly I dislike Cortana as I just feel like a plum talking to my Xbox as if I'm talking to a real person, but that's a personal thing I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric20109 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I kinda enjoy it, mainly for the fact I just think its Cortana from halo haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destro Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I don't have a kinect on X1 so i never used voice command, when the upate comes to regular user i will try Cortana, but im not sure if ill keep her or deactivate it. I never needed a voice command personally, i think its lazy as fuck if you can't open manually your xbox lol. And when i play with friends that have a kinect and they say right in the middle of a game "xbox record that" that really sound stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbear. Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I disabled it and went back to the 'Xbox' command as soon as they gave us the option. Unfortunately, I don't think you have that option if you don't have a Kinect. when the upate comes to regular user i will try Cortana, but im not sure if ill keep her or deactivate it. I already have the update. You may want to "force" update in the menus if you don't. Overall, I don't mind her so far. I think in the end I'll mostly just use voice commands to load games.

While the commands in general are much better and she learns with time etc etc its VERY slow compared to Kinect I am a preview member so I've been dealing with it for awhile now. I hate it. Takes too long to recognize a command, process it and then do the action. Also recognition was hit and miss, more miss than hit really. As soon as I got the option to disable it I did.

JeremyVersion1 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I like the feature but don't have a need for it. It's just a neat thing to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oORuffusOo Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I haven't bothered setting it up. I like my simple "Xbox" commands. And from what I'm hearing around here I'm not missing much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destro Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Its very strange, i would had understand french not being supported or other languages than english, but why lock it for a region that mostly speak the same language? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinelesS Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) Just updated, no idea If I have Cortana or not (wasn't a popup saying I had it or anything like that) However I do love the new games and apps setup. Giving Ready to install and updates their own page, and showing how much has downloaded, and your download speed instead of just a percentage is awesome Edited August 10, 2016 by SpinelesS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SneakyofSneaks Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I don't like her, trying some of the stuff she does like inviting to party etc, just sends me a bing page, I was trying to stick at it but I think I'll go back to xbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptSquirrel Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I tried it, but I didn't care for it at all. I find it much easier to just use the controller to navigate, especially now that they've made the UI so friendly. Plus I have to use a headset for it to work, and I don't like wearing them when I don't have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
