Can I enable Voice search in side of Win tin 10. How?
« on: May 27, 2016, 10:16:43 PM »
Maybe this question was already asked, but I don't find it. I would like to use the Voice Recognition in Windows 10 to do a search on the Web.  Like the 'Hey Google' thing, winch is an Android and Apple app.
I have searched and can not find a windows app that does that.  :'(
Sometimes when I am trying to find something and just can not get what I want, it is easier to just pick up a Android tablet and just talk to it. Works good! But why can't I do it in Windows 10? Where is it?

Enable Cortana. The option to allow "Hey Cortana" should be in Cortana Settings.
I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

Cortana is one of the key new features of Windows 10 and is enabled by default.  You must login to Windows with an MS account in order to use it.
