Cortana, Microsoft’s personal voice assistant, is now available for all residents of the United States to download in public beta form.They launched a closed beta of the app back in July, but now this app can be downloaded by anyone who opts for the beta testing program.
Similar to the functionality Google Now or Siri provides, Cortana is able to perform a number of tasks like setting alarms, scheduling appointments and even performing simple Bing searches.The app recently got a big update that would allow cortana to be launched via the home button shortcut on Android, instead of google now.
There are few differences between Cortana on windows and Cortana on Android.For example, Android users aren’t yet able to toggle settings, open specific apps or launch the voice assistant by saying “Hey Cortana”. These features are only available on Windows for now, though we wouldn’t be surprised to see them come to the Android version in the future.
