introducing a new hands free activation feature. Basically, you will be able to launch the assistant without unlocking your device and then pressing the search button to bring up Cortana — you can do so by simply saying “Hey Cortana”. This is essentially Microsoft’s version of “OK Google”, meaning the digital voice assistant on Windows Phone will be actively listening for user commands similar to how it is on Android devices. The upcoming Lumia Denim firmware update will introduce this feature to Windows Phone 8.1 Lumia devices, and surely the various third party developers will also get access to the API so that they can integrate this feature into their Windows Phone handsets. Hey Cortana, good going!]]>
