I have tried speech recognition a few years back with a better software than even Cortana is now, but it is not meant for desktop, by the time you say, what you want, you can do it like 2-3 times using a mouse or a keyboard. It is a good idea for devices like TV, tablets or sets in the kitchen and such, it is more convenient.

I tried it and i'm pissed my mic is not compatible with it and i have to use crappy one on my ms high def cam which is hardly compatible with it to, i'm forced if i want to use it go buy a new desktop mic, MS pisses me off making cortona use a high def mic or some crap.
Upgraded 1 of my 2 systems on Wednesday. Don't use it and have no intention of using it. I am not about to agree to all the info sharing/gathering, plus, I think I am much more productive on my own.
Also, It is a big RAM HOG!
It's pretty useful if you use it properly.
-It can understand the vast majority of voice commands
-It can set reminders
-It can compose emails
-It can open apps
-It can perform searches
Not yet available in Ireland which is disappointing as Ireland is the HQ for Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA) Region of Microsoft.
I want to say "Open the pod bay doors, HAL".
I have given it a try, I guess it is good for searching. It would be nice if it could be your typist for e-mail.
