Microsoft is going head on head with Apple’s Siri voice assistant system. Apple launched Siri for their Apple TV last year and now Microsoft is working upon their voice assistant Cortana to be premiered with Xbox one consoles. The voice control of the gaming consoles has been rough and sloppy till date.
It only follows certain command in a rigid way however now after Cortana upgrade a lot of things are pending to be changed. It will allow a more natural way of conversation in the console. Microsoft is working on the core alignment of their machine assembly for understanding the natural language easily. The idea is to make the console read as many natural languages as it can. The major difference between the gaming console and the Apple Tv is that, where AppleTv’s begins at $199 the gaming consoles of the Xbox begin at $299. There is a huge difference in the margin of the price in between both the devices. Like the Xbox One, Apple TV also allows the users to download the apps and games too. Apple also offers a Siri remote to its users to control the voice assistant of the device.
The first service of the Cortana will be available in U.S., U.K., France, Italy, Germany and Spain for the Xbox users starting this week. Microsoft says they will be building Cortana with a longer term vision and continue to upgrade it from time to time. Microsoft is trying to add more and more features for their users to give users more than the gaming experience. Apart from Apple some of the other major companies like Amazon and Echo are also working on building and scaling their own voice assistant system. All these companies are working on their own systems to improve the quality of their virtual mechanism.
