If you thought Microsoft would allow Cortana for Android to be an also-ran compared with the ndows version, think again. Android Central reported Friday afternoon that the latest release of the Cortana for Android beta will now listen to comms when you call its name.

According to Android Central, as of version 1.0.0.289, you can get Cortana to listen for spoken comms simply by saying, “Hey Cortana”—a little like Now’s “OK ” Siri’s “Hey Siri” h-free modes. l you need to do is go into Cortana’s settings make sure the “Hey Cortana” checkbox is ticked.

There are some limitations to Cortana for Android’s hs-free mode, though: Android Central says that the hs-free mode “only works if the phone’s display is on, the screen is unlocked or you already have the app open,” but it also notes that this is the case for Now’s hs-free controls on many Android phones.

Cortana is currently in blic Beta, anyone can sign up try it. Microsoft has yet to announce an official non-beta release date.

The story behind the story: Cortana’s presence on Android may seem a little odd given Microsoft’s traditional ndows-centric ethos, but the company has increasingly embraced other platforms under CEO Satya Nadella. Under Nadella’s “mobile-first, cloud-first” strategy, Microsoft is less focused on bringing users onto its own platforms as it was in the past, is instead more focused on bringing its software to where the users are, regardless of the operating system they’re on.
