Cortana Voice Commands Through Headset in Next Update

Interesting, I wonder is this was the reason Cortana took so long to come to Xbox One?

Makes you also wonder, why didn't MS just include a cheap plug in Mic that stands on the Xbox One itself so it would be User Optional of use or not?

So I won't need my Kinect to use voice commands anymore?

I find this hilarious.

I remember all the old discussions here where someone who didn't want a kinect would suggest that voice commands could use the mic in the headset and some one would try to convince them it was impossible even though anyone with a brain knew that it was.

lol <--- That's me laughing.

Not according to Game Informer.

I put the link in the OP.

Kinect got a new name....and Xbox too.

"Cortana go there"" Cortana play this".....

Nothing new,i do this since 2013.

But the "new" dashboard shows games or DLCs being downloaded,that's cool.

.....

On Xbox Wire,there are more details.

Thanks Tzar,

Here's the Xbox Wire link for anyone else interested.

@ Goth, lol. You could use voice commands through a mic that was connected to the controller way back on the Dreamcast so I don't know what they were thinking lol.

I love using my Kinect for voice commands especially for recording clips, but if we don't need to use it for that any more than I don't see much point in owning it. 

Watch everyone fawn over kinect when paired with oculus VR goggles for motion tracking...my prediction for the future.

I haven't used the Kinect in about 4 months, but have no complaints with it. I'm one of those that would mute my headset mic before barking voice commands; can't say the same for some, and only see it getting worse if commands can given though the headset.

I'll agree with Burnin TODI on V.R. giving the Kinect a revival...at least with the newer, more powerful system coming out shortly. ;-)

Peace, J.R.

FINALLY

Is it already out for those who have Kinect? Or will it release next update? It would be kwl if it responded using Kinect. Just like with Voice Commands.

Xbox 1 does have a Windows 10 like UI, and Windows 10 has Cortana. Our phones can talk back to us, so it would be great when Xbox does.
