Most of the voice you've heard isn't. Jen is still recording, and will be replacing a lot of the "dev" voice, and they'll continue to evolve it into more of Jen's voice during the dev cycle.

Most of the chit chat and jokes is her.

So they're getting Taylor for all of the responses then? I thought this would be just limited to Halo jokes for the most part.

I really hope it won't take them 4 years to release Cortana worldwide, like it did with podcasts!

 

[Mistel]

Well, that worked. And now I don't feel well.

Well that's Speedy sorted then .

 

[Diprosalic]

Meh. Call me when i can talk dirty with Scarlett Johansson.

 

[show me your skeleton]

cortana seems great, if a bit limited due to her america-centric status so far. i do kinda' miss the bing search though...

Bing search is still there, when you just type. What I'm going to miss is the Bing picture of the day.

I can't get Cortana to do that for me. She keeps just doing web searches instead.

I use it as my home screen, still enjoy the Bing screen every day.

But that is bing, no? What else are you referring to?

I don't like all of them, so having it on the lockscreen is not something I want.

 

[kharma45]

Na what I mean is that I asked the same questions that are in those screenshots and rather than getting a response back from her like 'Impressive achievement...' it will just search the web instead.

Works pretty well with a UK accent, you can tell why it's not out here yet though, none of the sport stuff or anything else regional gets even close.

 

[kharma45]

Not yet.

Where do pictures get auto uploaded to OneDrive? I don't see them. I had a couple Cortana pictures I wanted to post.

I think screenshots don't get auto-uploaded. I 'shared' my screenshot into my OneNote and copied it from there.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

I don't know why I want this, I don't even like Halo much anymore.

 

[JaggedSac]

I think screenshots don't get auto-uploaded. I 'shared' my screenshot into my OneNote and copied it from there.

There is an option for it to, for both video and photos. Mine is borked though. Even when I go into OneDrive and try to upload manually it says there is an error.

Which one?

Same thing happens to me, not really sure why.

 

[Jzero]

Is there anyone else that can't send or receive text messages? Calls work though

Edit: It seems to be a bug where sms messages are not received when Wi-Fi is on. Turning it off lets you receive texts but having no wi-fi sucks

Seems to be working today mind. Did a hard reset on my phone so I wonder if that was partly to do with it.

 

[dLMN8R]

Don't do a hard reset or anything because of Cortana responses you see. It's simply a matter of it being a beta service which supports partial degradation. Instead of the entire Cortana service going down, sometimes it's just individual features like the funny responses you get.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Sorry for the bump.
Just wanted to say wow has the voice gotten much better, way less robotic now.
