Hi Larry, Using Cortana is equivalent to what you did before when you used to press the Start button in previous versions of Windows and typed in things you wanted to search for; in fact, they now refer to doing searches from the Start menu as invoking Cortana. Also, I suspect that the difficulty you're having in getting her to understand you is you may have your microphone recording level set too high and so you can try turning it down to 60 or so. The keyboard shortcut for invoking Cortanaa, at which point you hear the chime and so you can begin your enquiry, is Windows-C.
Hth, Rod -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Larry Higgins via Talk Sent: April 20, 2016 8:15 AM To: Window-Eyes Discussion List <[email protected]> Subject: Cortana Just wondering if anybody has had any luck using Cortana, and how effectively. I need to get me a decent microphone I;'m sure to make it work in the way it was designed to worked, but just how well can it be used with the keyboard? I asked her this morning about the final score of last nights Chicago Blackhawks game, and I hope the score I think I got was correctly read by me, because they won 4-3 against the St. Louis Blues. Anyway any observations on Cortana would be appreciated, _______________________________________________ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.
