Microsoft announces update to bring voice control to TVs December 5, 2011 - 13:23 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Microsoft announced a new big update for the Xbox 360 that leapfrogs Google TV and Apple TV. The power of Kinect combined with Bing search is turning voice into the ultimate remote control. According to a report on i4u.com, “with Bing on Xbox, you can use your voice to effortlessly find the games, movies, TV shows and music you want and discover the best offerings on Xbox LIVE, by simply saying what you’re searching for.” Beginning December 6 and over the coming weeks, Bing on Xbox voice search will initially be available in English in the U.S., Canada and the UK for Zune video, Xbox LIVE Marketplace and select content partners. For those who do not have a Kinect for Xbox 360, text search will be available in Xbox LIVE markets. Microsoft is also adding tons of media content to the Xbox Live platform with apps from partners. Xbox 360 is building on its expansive catalog of movies, sports, television and music available through Hulu Plus, Last.fm, Netflix, Zune music and video and ESPN, as well as on its existing lineup of great TV providers, such as AT&T U-verse TV in the U.S., TELUS in Canada, BSkyB in the U.K., CANAL+ in France, Vodafone Portugal, VimpelCom in Russia and FOXTEL in Australia.
