FiveTech Software tech support forums

Cortana is expanding and will soon be available everywhere. Introduced in Windows Phones, it is now integral to Windows 10. There is availability on Android, and iOS testing will begin soon.

Cortana can interact with apps and can be our true voice control in our projects. For clients who want voice driven applications, Cortana will be universally available, and may well be the perfect solution.

With this in mind, perhaps some of the people who are great at bringing new capabilities to FWH might want to explore this as a new feature for development.

At the moment the API is available for development of Universal Apps and not for Desptop Apps
Let us wait and see.

Dear Mr. Rao,
any news on this.
Thank you in advance and best regards,
Otto

Dear Antonio,
This is working fine.

Thanks in advance
Otto

Antonio,
How make this from fwh:

Create a calendar event
You can quickly create a new calendar event by typing create calendar in the search box of Cortana.

Hello Antonio,
I’ve found a project for Windows Office: Dictate
an add-in for Microsoft Office.
This is a Microsoft garage project.
This is using Cortana not SpeechText with works much better.
But I found no other programs.
Maybe I could open from Fivewin WORD then dictate close and import the docx-file to the Fivewin program.
Best regards,
Otto

I wish dictate feature for FivEdit

Getting closer to Cortana...

Dear Antonio,
Cortana is opening and asking "What can I do more". Also a MsgInfo with a number (661620) pops up.
On SERVER 2012 with no Cortana installed the number is 0.
Best regards,
Otto
