Cortana needs a gamer tag

VoicezInUrHead · Sep 21, 2015

All -

me and my daughter play xbox together most nights. she is six so she is still learning the controls. but she doesn't have a gamer tag and I want her to get one. she asked if she could have her say crazy cortana which is funny because her name is cortana. yes
from birth. the problem im having is first I need an email for her and then the gamer tag and Microsoft has the name locked so I cant use it... I know I could just make something else but I want to see if there is anyone out there that's willing to help me
out.

CORTANA update broke Xbox voice commands.

Ever since I was given the option to use Cortana, I have been unable to use Xbox voice commands even when Cortana is turned off. So far Cortana has proven to be very clunky and unreliable. Often either failing to recognize or misinterpet my commands. I issue
the command to play a game, Cortana takes me to the game's market place instead. I already own the game, I do not need to buy it again.

Cortana Voice Commands Through Headset in Next Update

Seems not all features of Cortana will be available just using a chat mic

Here are a few of the things Cortana can do:

Cortana supports natural language instead of the use of specific phrases or commands. Just say “Hey Cortana” and ask her a question or give her a command!

Use Cortana and voice commands from your headset; no Kinect needed!

Kinect owners can ask Cortana about things like time, weather, and sports scores. For example:

“Hey Cortana, what time is it”?

“Hey Cortana, will I need a jacket today?

“Hey Cortana, did the Golden State Warriors win yesterday?”

What about Lil Miss Cortana as a gamertag?

the only problem is Microsoft has locked the name cortana so no one can use it...

Ah I see. Sorry but if they have blocked the use of the name nothing can really be done about it.

I only used it to launch games on my system and it did that well. Not having it wont bother me and I dont have to worry about it activating accidentally or calling out those players that had gamer tags similar enough to activate Cortana when you said
their name.

To look for a gamer tag as a friend you need to be exact

But to take a gamer tag you have to be unique
