Sharvari PanchbhaiWhen English (India) dialect was not there in Google Voice Search we were working with either English (UK) or English (US) by default.Google gets substantial amount of information about you if you have often used Gmail or Google search.Google Now uses this auto-learn feature more efficiently.Likewise in Cortana, we can change the region for Voice search which will help it to work more efficiently.
Cortana will not arrive in India until 2015. -
