Microsoft’s upcoming Windows Phone
8.1 update will include Cortana, a personal digital assistant designed to rival
Siri and Google Now. Sources familiar with Microsoft’s plans have revealed to The
Verge how Cortana looks and operates, replacing the built-in Bing search
functionality on Windows Phone 8.1. While the feature is named after the Halo
game series, Cortana will take the form of a circular animated icon instead of
a female character. Cortana will animate when it’s speaking or thinking,
forming a personality not dissimilar to Apple’s Siri.
Nicknames just like Siri
Just like Siri, Cortana will also
allow Windows Phone users to set how they want to be addressed by the
voice-activated assistant. Cortana can call users by their name or nicknames
like "Master Chief" after the function is enabled in the settings. A
key part of Cortana is its ability to save information and data in a Notebook
system. Notebook will allow the Cortana digital assistant to access information
such as location data, behaviors, personal information, reminders, and contact
information. Cortana can also track flights or other mentions in emails,
allowing it to generate notifications similar to Google Now.
