WP8.1 Cortana will add voice activation

Computer store news:

Windows Phone 8.1 Cortana has become the focus of discussion in the past two weeks, the project leader Marcus Ash constantly reveals the details of this voice assistant.

Previously, WP8.1 Cortana may be used for iOS and Android messages, and now Ash's latest Twitter said that WP8.1 Cortana will use voice activation.

Ash said in Twitter that the Cortana team is designing voice activation, and one factor they need to pay attention to is background noise.

Microsoft's intention to introduce voice activation in Cortana is not that unexpected. The only way to start Cortana is to hold down the search button or click on the live tile. Google also has a similar feature, users only need to say "Ok Google", you can start the electronic assistant, Apple Siri in Apple iOS8 has similar features. Of course, Microsoft Xbox One has long had similar features.

According to Ash's statement, this feature is still in the research and development stage, and there is no exact information indicating when users will use this feature.
