Say It Like You Mean It The Starting Line Rar Download Free Apps
Microsoft was late to the personal assistant game. Siri and Google Now have been here for more than a year now. Microsoft took its sweet sweet time to unveil Cortana.
Turns out that time was not wasted at all. Microsoft clearly kept tabs on both and Now and decided to integrate the best of both services. So now what you get in Cortana is context and location aware notifications with information like Google Now and the conversational voice search like Siri. And Cortana comes packaged with a quirky personality that’s sorely missing in Google Now. There’s also one field where Cortana leaves its competitors biting the dust and that is third party apps integration. Siri wouldn’t touch app data right now with a sterilized stick and it’s the same story with Now. But we don’t know when it is coming or its application.
