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?”

Voice commands will only work if you have a kinect or a headset. Cortana has to be turned on first before you use her voice commands, and if you do not have a kinect, then the Xbox voice commands will not be turned on.

As mentioned, the Kinect voice commands still work just not the Cortana ones. So voice command wise, it will still work the same as it did when it released.

Hi ereeiz,

Thanks for coming to the forums. Cortana was disable quite a while ago. It does explain how to enable Alexa for voice commands when you go to the Cortana settings.
"Cortana is no longer supported on Xbox one. To continue using voice commands, enable digital assistants in settings and try the Xbox skill for Alexa, or use Xbox voice commands with Kinect sensor."

Thanks,

Brad

Hi Rgiskard,

sorry to hear.Maybe a misunderstanding or false Country or because my One works with INSIDER?? Here my Kinect still work?? And I found this at the XBOX Support

"Where is cortana?"

f you have a Kinect connected to your Xbox One, you can use

Xbox voice commands. This means you can use commands like “Xbox, go home,” “Xbox, pause,” and “Xbox, record that” to control your console. If you were previously using Cortana voice commands, you’ll automatically switch over to Xbox voice commands.

If you haven’t used voice commands before, go to
Settings > Devices & Streaming >
Kinect to enable.

Hope this helps and please keep us informed.
