Microsoft’s voice assistant Cortana is trailing behind its biggest competitors but the company is far from giving up on its ambitious plans. Microsoft intends to position Cortana as an aide which will boost users’ productivity and now, it is starting to receive multi-user voice recognition which might bring it back into competition with other assistants.
Well, well, well…what have we here? It seems that #Cortana on the @HarmanKardon Invoke now supports multiple users. pic.twitter.com/udY9rZLJQv
The new feature is believed to roll out to all users in phases. With it, Cortana can be trained to identify voices of up to six different users and each will be able to set up their feed and settings separately. Currently, Cortana only supports multiple users simultaneously when Windows machines have more than one users signed-in at the same time.
