Cortana

The only time Cortana speaks to me is if I speak to her first. She never says my name when I activate her. I have her set to speak but she doesn't. I live in the U.S. so there shouldn't be any issue there. I don't use her all the time but it would be nice to be spoken to when I do use her.

that's how it works
speak to it and you get a spoken response
type something and you get a text response

Okay, thanks. I was under the impression that she spoke upon activation. But then, what's the point of making sure her pronunciation of your name is correct if she never says it?
