This brings up a point about Kinect's voice recognition that I've yet to hear an answer on (and I don't have a One nor have seen one to experiment with yet).
Do you need to remember exact precise commands for Kinect's voice commands to work? Voice recognition technology has surpassed this point. Apple's Siri is able to understand meaning and context no matter how they vary. It understands and works exactly the same if someone says, "Schedule a 9:30 a.m. appointment with Dr. Smith at Kaiser" just as if they had said, "I have a 9:30 a.m. appointment at Kaiser to see Dr. Smith, please schedule." Or, "Find me some Chinese food within 5 miles" just as well as, "Is there Chinese food nearby?".
The convenience and efficiency that language affords lies in its ability to convey and understand the same meanings even though they are expressed differently. Siri isn't perfect, it will never be due to language's inherent nature, but it seems to do the above for the most part fairly well.
Does Kinect? That's not a rhetorical question, I'm genuinely curious.
