Microsoft is today rolling out a new Windows 10 update to its "fast ring" testers that's largely focused on Cortana, the operating system's built-in personal assistant. First, Cortana is expanding its list of supported languages to include Spanish (Mexico), Portuguese (Brazil), and French (Canada). Those are in addition to the 11 languages that Cortana already understands and speaks in various regions across the globe.
Microsoft silenced Cortana in Windows 11, but you can get the digital assistant back. Here's how.
Contractors are expected to work on around 200 pieces of data an hour for Microsoft's Cortana, and make as little as $12 an hour.
The Verge: Cortana started off life as a digital assistant for Windows Phone, before making its way to Windows 10, iOS, and Android. With Windows Phone dead and very few people using Cortana on a PC, Microsoft has made the difficult decision to give up competing with Alexa and Google Assistant. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed earlier this year that the company no longer sees Cortana as a competitor to those other digital assistants, and that it’s embracing the idea of having rivals on its platform. We’re now starting to see how that will work, and what it means for the future of Cortana.
