This leak offers us details about the future of Cortana: it could focus on the business field
Table of contents:
The truth is that when you have to talk about Cortana you don't know if you're doing it for better or for worse. Microsoft's path with Cortana seems erratic and we don't know if they plan to abandon Cortana to their fate or continue betting on her. This is what we can intuit with news like the one we are dealing with now.
Cortana is Microsoft's alternative to stand up to Alexa from Amazon, Siri from Apple and Google Assistant from… Well, from Google . The problem is that it's been five years since Cortana arrived in 2014 and it hasn't quite taken off.This does not prevent Microsoft from having plans for the future.
Cortana becomes an entrepreneur
And despite the fact that right now Cortana is perhaps one of the sections that seems to arouse least interest in Microsoft And we say it seems, because surely at Microsoft they have other plans. Or that is what we can think with a leaked video regarding Cortana that has come to light thanks to Walking Cat on Twitter.
According to it, Microsoft would be working to bring to Cortana a series of improvements and functions hitherto unknown or at least, that had not been publicized. A series of future features focused primarily on the enterprise market
Microsoft has always had a lot of feeling with companies and in fact, until recently it was the favorite operating system in business environments, even with those old PDA's.
Among the new functions, for example, the possibility that Cortana would offer to reproduce unread emails and the interaction that would offer the user, by allowing you to file mail with just your voice.
Improvements focused on the professional environment, among which, for example, the one that would allow Cortana to find the best time and place to hold a meeting stands out. according to the agenda and email the meeting details.
Cortana would also be more customizable, since will allow users to choose the voice, even being able to choose a male voice for Cortana. It must be remembered that since its inception and in the English version, Cortana has used the voice of dubbing actress Jen Taylor.
Alexa's arrival in Windows seemed to be the end of Cortana but according to this video, Microsoft could bet on a market where personal assistants don't enjoy the same popularity that they do have at home.We will have to wait for news, since in the last Microsoft event, nothing was said about Cortana.
