I just got windows 10, and I'm trying to use cortana. I don't have a mic, so I have to type everything in. When I type in a command, (ex. "Play all albums",) I get an option to search the web, it doesn't actually tell me the answer.
I tried various things like "What's the keyboard shortcut for paste" (I saw that on the web,) but it gives me an option to search it on the web, it doesn't give me the answer on cortana itself. How can I get it to show on cortana itself?
It actually doesn't matter, whether you type your question in via keyboard or whether you ask it through your microphone. In both cases it "lands" in the text box, however you have to use the correct syntax. Here is a list of questions for Cortana, which aren't linked to the webbrowser (Adopted from here, you find even more):
- What’s the weather like?
- What’s on my schedule?
- What’s the status of my flight?
- How long will it take me to get to [place]?
- Show me directions to [place]
- Show me my notes
- Create an appointment
- Move my appointment
- Set a reminder
- Show my reminders
- Set an alarm
- Show me my alarms
Of course Cortana speaks in the language you have Windows installed with, so you have to translate them in the case your Windows installation is not English or adding 'English' in the Windows Settings.
