Akali Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 More news has been released about the new Siri-like voice search engine that is called Cortana and some rumours on the Cortana search engine coming to the Xbox One. All halo fans know (or should know) that Cortana is the Artificial Intelligence (A.I) that was handed to master chief and has spent 8 years helping chief complete his goals in defeating the covenant and everything that gets in his way with information and helping him with computers and stuff like that. Cortana will work similar to how Siri works today with the voice search and will address you as you see fit by either with your actual name or by nickname. Cortana can also save information like your location data, behaviour, personal information, reminders and contacts. Right now it is unclear if Cortana will fall under Microsoft technology but we will find out sometime in April and it is also unknown if Cortana will be coming to the Xbox 360/Xbox One but that is what the company plans to do according to the last update on the Cortana search engine. How cortana will work on the Xbox is something similar to the smartphones but instead of asking for contacts that you have on your phone, you can ask your Xbox 'what are my friends playing?' and it will pop up with your friends list. and of course the voice actress of Cortana is Jen Taylor who is the voice of Cortana.

BeckoningZebra1 Posted March 3, 2014 Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 I've been a big fan of this concept for a while. I hope it does make it's way on to the XBox 360/One. A feature I'd like to see would be the ability to ask for Halo quotes, or specifically Cortana quotes that she'd say. "I bet ya can't stick it..."

The Stig Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 But this begs the question.... Will she be able to distinguish the difference between each players voice in room? Will she be able to understand those speaking a different language than the version she is programmed? Will she be able to understand those with thick or even mild accents? Will she be able to understand slang, or words short for other words, like "Ay Cortana, girl, pop out my homies list ya dig!" Will she have a noticeable delay from the time you ask a question, until the time she responds with an answer? Will she be able to even help you with all the problems you might have in the first place? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
