According Microsoft’s Phil Spencer, headset support for Microsoft’s personal voice assistant Cortana, makes sense. The head of the Xbox gaming division also shared Microsoft will be looking at offering support for an English talking Cortana in countries where Cortana isn’t supported yet.

　　Development on ‘Cortana’ started back in 2009. Microsoft announced the availability of Cortana for Windows 10 back in January of this year. During their E3 press conference this year, Microsoft announced that ‘Cortana’ would also come to the Xbox One through the Windows 10 Update for the console. Last week we posted on how Cortana already seemed to be operational within the New Xbox Experience.

Possible English Cortana in Non-English Countries

　　For those living in countries that don’t support Cortana yet, there might be hope. Answering a question on Twitter, Phil Spencer replied that Microsoft will be looking into offering English support in Non-Cortana countries.

　　@Nahkapukki @LHF_Toni Do you mean English Cortana in non-English dash?

　　Spencer adds that full Cortana support is obviously better, but an English speaking Cortana in countries that don’t support the voice assistant yet, is an interesting approach.

　　@Nahkapukki @LHF_Toni That's an interesting approach. Full support obviously better but Eng Cortana in non-Cortana markets we will look at.

Cortana headset support “makes sense”

　　@BPhotomagic24 We haven't announced this but we know people will want it. Feature makes sense.

　　Interestingly enough, Xbox head Phil Spencer tweeted that the headset support hasn’t been officially announced yet. The feature does make sense though, according Spencer.
