  3. Cortana Speaking in Robotic Voice

    Cortana has been running fine for ever since I downloaded her about a month ago. However, a few days ago, she starting responding to questions in a robotic voice rather than Jen Taylor's voice. (for example, if I ask her to sing a song, she speaks the
    lyrics rather than singing them). Is anyone else having this problem?

    Here are my specs:

    HTC 8S

    Cortana Alpha (Canada)

    Windows Phone 8.1; Update 1 (aka GDR1)

    It's perfectly ok to ask.. I think you can work out the answer for yourself.

    If you type in a question, it usually generates a web search. So a browser opens. Reading out a list of browser search results would not be very useful to anyone (If the user couldn't see, it would have to be interactive, allowing the user choice- not just read out).

    Other searches might find Settings, programs or apps.

    The sort of questions Cortana responds to by voice are:
    What did you dream about last night?
    How old are you?

    Oh , Thanks for clearing that up !

    I was under the (wrong) impression that it behaves like Google Now , hence the question.

    Google Now actually talks back ... like it'd read me the steps from realsimple.com when I ask her 'How to make rice?' and will read me descriptions off IMDB for films and much more cool stuff. Heh.

    Thanks !
