Windows 10: 10 things you can do with the wizard Cortana – Trade

Not a robot with personality, but it comes close. The personal assistant voice of Windows, which first comes to computers with Windows 10, allows a lot of very useful things without using a keyboard.

It’s called Cortana and reminds you of appointments that you have a certain day, what song is playing at the time on the radio or what is the height of Michael Jordan.

Activate it

To take advantage of all these possibilities, the first thing to do if you already have Windows 10 is to activate the voice command of Cortana .

Go to Settings and activate the “Allow Cortana answer Hey Cortana.”

Cortana is not ready yet their national versions in each Latin American country (you will come to Mexico later this year), but is available in Spanish.


One of the things you can remember what the wizard is your favorite team.

To use in Spanish, go to Region and Language section and put your region is Spain (Spain).

Microsoft is paying close attention to Cortana adapt to each country to reflect the personality, preferences and even the humor of each place.

Therefore, although in Spanish can be used from any country, you can not take full advantage of Cortana until ready all versions.

With these limitations, these are some things you can do with Cortana Cortana or that does for you.

Install reminders for times, places and people

Use the icon Reminders and tell Cortana “Remember Me” to start.

You can create a reminder and make Cortana you remember something at a certain time, when you get to a place specific or when you talk to someone in particular.

For example, you can tell me remind you that, next time you talk to your mother, you ask the recipe for beef stew.

You can also say that you remember to take the pill at 8 in the morning or remind you to buy milk.

Cortana learn things about you

Cortana has a notebook in which is storing the relevant information about you that you specify, and what is your favorite football team, for example.

This may be making it easier for personalized content. In addition, Cortana collects information all the time, if you let it.

For example, record your travels and learn where you spend most of your time.


Cortana learns your route to work and notifies you when you leave.

If you give your home address and work, learn the route.

After a couple of weeks, I tell you what time you have to leave home to get to work on time because the traffic that day.

If there are things think Cortana should know immediately, you can include it in his notebook.

Make searches on your computer natural language

One of the things that Cortana is allows you to search for files on your computer. You can tell that you look for photos of last year, for example.

You can also make changes to the system, like telling you enable or disable your wifi.

And it does that you talk like a robot, but you can use your natural way of speaking.

Make searching the Internet

Cortana make your default search with Bing but you can change it and make use Google or another search engine through Chrometana Chrome extension that redirects all searches on Bing the search engine of your choice.

If you ask something you do not know Cortana , which will be sought in the Internet.

You can ask how many dollars is 10 pounds, for example. Or the meaning of a word or who is the president of Brazil.

Any data you want to know and you can search the Internet, I pregúntaselo Cortana!


Cortana also makes calculations and currency conversions.

Check the weather

If you ask what the weather, Cortana will give you all the information for that day all week.

Send mail

No need to be a great leader, with Cortana you can have your own personal secretary.

You can tell it to send an email and it will. You just have to dictate it.

Before, remember to insert your accounts. Once you do, you can say a name from your address book, dictate your email and send without ever touching a button.

Make several things at once

Cortana allows you to get more done in less time, because he hears your requests without interrupting what you’re doing at the time.

This is because Cortana does not appropriate your window or cursor when you ask now.

So you can read and reply to emails as you create a reminder or add an event to your calendar.

Identify a song

Cortana can hear a song playing near where you are and identify it.

If you ask “What is this song?” Cortana used the microphone to listen to the music and tell you what song is.

This feature works best with recorded music with live music.

Make calculations and conversions

Cortana It is also able to make quick calculations.

You can say them out loud or write, what you easier.

Cortana can make a multiplication, for example, or tell you how many kilometers are 75 miles.

Chat

If you want to talk with Cortana and have fun for a while, Cortana is scheduled to give a number of answers.

You can be funny and sarcastic, tell jokes and even singing songs.

If you feel lonely, you say good night, and Cortana you the want back to you.

If you ask if you want Cortana, he responds: “In short, there is power in our relationship”
