Microsoft has announced that their digital personal assistant, Cortana, is now available for Android in Public Beta.
Cortana on Android features:
• Use Cortana as a voice assistant by speaking naturally or even by typing, and she’ll find answers from the web or help you get things done.
• Find answers using Bing including the latest sports scores, movie show times, local restaurants, facts and references, and more.
• Set reminders with Cortana and get the reminders at a specific or recurring time, or when you arrive/leave a certain location.
• Set alarms.
• Place calls to your contacts using voice.
• Voice texting: dictate your SMS/text to Cortana using voice.
As mentioned earlier, this is a public beta so you will need to register as a beta tester before downloading which you can do here. Also note that the Cortana on Android is currently available in the U.S. only but will soon roll out to other markets.
