As Microsoft had earlier promised, it has released a beta version of its popular voice-assisting software, namely 'Cortana'. Cortana, a rival to Apple's Siri, as well as Google Now, is a full-featured voice assistant software, having the ability to schedule appointments, set reminders, and a plethora of other things!
A handful of testers, who had applied for its beta version were notified by Microsoft that it was available for download. Android version had been rolled out in August this year.
According to the description that accompanies the test build of Cortana for iOS, Microsoft explains how the assistant can help Windows users with iPhones connect the two platforms. For example, Microsoft suggests how you can set reminders on your PC – like a reminder to pick up milk on the way home – then be notified via your iPhone when you’re on the road.
You can also use Cortana to make an appointment, send an email or text, set reminders by location and time across your PC and phone, plus track your packages, flights, stocks, sports scores, weather and more. You can also use the app to search Bing, get directions, get info on restaurants and movie and TV listings, track your interests, and even open apps, according to the description’s text.
