  • Last year, Microsoft and Amazon announced
    something completely unexpected their respective
    digital assistants, Setup Alexa for Cortana,
    would work together soon. It took a year for this
    partnership to end, but it is better than late.
  • Instead of a cat and mouse contest, the two
    assistants will rely on each other to fill in
    their gaps.

  • Alexa users can call Cortana, for example, to
    send an email with their voice via Outlook or to
    manage their calendar. Similarly, Cortana users
    can call Alexa to use one of their thousands of
    skills or control smart devices at home.

Hey Cortana!
  • While some sequences seemed pre-recorded for
    demonstration purposes, others showed many
    examples of using this voice assistant. The
    rounded icon of Cortana takes place near the
    start button in Windows 10 and is triggered with
    the mouse of a click. On the right is a search
    field for typing text on the keyboard, and
    another microphone icon on the right end triggers
    listening through the computers microphone.

  • It is also possible to challenge Cortana without
    the need to move mouse and keyboard, simply by
    pronouncing clearly Hey Cortana!. Immediately
    after pronouncing these words, Cortana translates
    and transcribes in her search field the words
    spoken and tries to answer your request, either
    by a search.

A curious assistant, the confidentiality to be
defined
  • To prevent Cortana from being seen by users as a
    spy placed within the system. Microsoft says on
    his blog that Cortana control options will be
    available to make it more reliable, but also more
    transparent. Cortana does not just respond to
    requests it learns from the user and his
    preferences to better respond to requests.
    Moreover, it can even anticipate needs by
    providing appointment reminders, transport
    schedules or by following sports results.

  • We can ask him the time he is doing or starts the
    composition of an email addressed to a contact
    that will be announced clearly. After the
    assistant has drawn in your repertoire, we can
    also compose the message with voice through voice
    recognition. It is also possible to ask him to
    find pictures of the month of December, as
    shown by Microsoft during the demonstration, in
    which case it displays a window of the explorer
    with the found images. Simple and efficient.

Heres How its builtCortana and Alexa
  • For starters, you need to combine the two
    services, which means you do not need an Amazon
    account, but also a Microsoft account.
  • In addition, you need a Windows computer 10 and
    an Amazon Echo ( 85 on Amazon.com) or Tap
    Speaker (Cortana still does not work with the
    Alexa app or a third party currently playing

12
Look at this 
  • Alexa and Amazon Cortana can talk to whoever
  • Use Cortanas ability
  • The easiest way to pair both wizards is to use
    the Alexa app on Android or iOS (or the Alexa Web
    client) to use the Cortana Skill.
  • In the application menu, tap Skills. Locate
    Cortana and press Activate. This will require you
    to link your Microsoft account. (If this does not
    happen automatically, tap Settings on the skills
    page, then Link account.) Click I agree and sign
    in Contact your Microsoft account credentials

  • Once you have activated the Cortana ability, you
    can interact with Cortana by saying, Alexa, open
    Cortana.
  • If you use Cortana for the first time, you must
    give it access to the address of your
    device. Download the Alexa app and then open the
    Alexa app, go to the Cortana Skills page, then
    Settingsgt Manage Permissions

15
  • Once its fully Setup Alexa for Cortana and you
    call Cortana through your Alexa spokesperson. You
    can only talk to her about it through your
    Windows computer.
  • For the moment, Cortanas capacity quite limited,
    so all features not activated. The Skills page
    even lists Cortanas skills as a public preview
    and is not available on Alexa-enabled third-party
    devices.

Use Alexa on Windows
  • If you add Alexa to Cortana, its a little
    different and you cannot do it with your phone.
    Instead, you need a Windows 10 computer ( 100 on
    Amazon.com).
  • Its just as simple. Open Cortana by clicking on
    the icon in the system tray or pressing Windows
    S key. Press on.
  • Then enter Open Alexa or say, and a window will
    appear. Sign in with your Amazon credentials and
    click Sign In. Click Allow to confirm the
    connection, and then click Yes or Ignore when
    asked if Windows should remember your Amazon
    credentials.

18
  • Finally, in the Cortana menu, click Yes so that
    Microsoft can share your location. Your recorded
    audio files with Amazon. All of this means that
    Microsoft records the audio, but passes it on to
    Amazon for analysis of what you say.
  • After Alexa is fully connected to Cortana, say
    "Open Alexa". You can then talk to Alexa as
    usual.
  • You can use your favorite Alexa capabilities
    directly from your Windows desktop, control your
    smart lights, or even listen to music on your
    homes Alexa speakers. Now that Alexa and Cortana
    work in harmony, you should consider this.

  • As a voice assistant, Microsofts Cortana still
    has a long way to go before shes as popular and
    useful as Alexa as a smart home assistant.
    However, Amazons assistant cannot do certain
    things. So, to help you fill everyones gaps, you
    can now use Alexa on Windows 10 device (or the
    Harman Kardon Invoke Cortana speaker).
    Conversely, you can also use Cortana on an Echo
    device.
  • Microsoft announced at the January Build
    Developers Conference that Alexa and Cortana
    would work together. Seven months later, the
    integration finally launched with the public
  • Having two wizards in one device can be
    particularly useful. For those who frequently use
    Microsoft productivity applications such as
    Office and Outlook.

21
  • You will be prompted to sign in to your Microsoft
    account or create one if you do not have one
    yet. Say Alexa, open Cortana. Cortana will
    greet you when you are logged in and you will see
    the Cortana icon if you are using an Echo Spot or
    Echo Show.
  • You can now issue basic commands at the Cortana
    workplace and organization, such as What emails
    do I have? or Whats on my calendar for
    tomorrow? You do not need to say Cortana or
    Alexa before your orders. But you still have to
    say Alexa, stop to disable the service.
