TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Cortana has made its desktop debut with Windows 10. Now Microsoft's virtual assistant is available at the touch of a button.
Chinese accessory maker Satechi has created a physical Cortana button for Windows 10 PCs and Windows Phone devices that operates through Bluetooth.
Althought users can access the assistance just by saying: "Hey Cortana," but a button is considered to be more effective in public places.
Satechi also recommends sticking the Cortana button to your steering wheel for use when driving, as Cortana provides navigation info and music playback controls.
The accessory packs a CR2016 battery, claiming it could last two years, and to have a Bluetooth range of up to 40 feet.
The Satechi Bluetooth Cortana Button will be released next month in the U.S. and retailed at $22.99.
