Windows 10: Cortana voice recognition on button click

Hi everyone,

I recently upgraded my media center to Windows 10, because I wanted to use Cortana. Basically, what I want to do is, press a button on my remote and then "talk" to Cortana.

However I cannot find any hotkey, that essentially does the click on the "listen" button next to the Cortana search filed in the task bar. Do you guys know of any hotkey, I can map on my remote?

Another option for me, would be to use the windows messaging system to fire the event message myself. However, I do not known the message name for this event yet. Is there anywhere to look it up?

Thanks for your help.

Regards


NOTE: I do not want to use passing speech recognition (having Cortana listen for "Hey Cortana") due to privacy concerns. *Wink

[WINDOWS 10] Cortana not using voice to respond

Cortana does not respond to voice commands. I can dictate messages on non Cortana voice recognition

 

Cortana gets stuck when clicked on MIC button in Windows 10

Whenever I click on MIC button in Cortana, it gets stuck. And, the whole TASK BAR and START MENU stops working.

I am using Windows 10 on Lenovo X1 Carbon. The speech recognition used to work fine, but now it has stopped all of a sudden.

I have turned on "Hey Cortana" as well, but that doesn't help.

I have to kill Cortana, from the TASK Manager, once it gets stuck.

Hope you guys will fix the issue soon. And, am excited to use the voice recognition soon. Thank you.

 

Win + C should be the hotkey to activate cortana speech recognition.

 

Thanks, I will try it tonight.
