According toWindows Central, users can hover in front of the application and simply say what they want to do. Voice commands will be able to take the place of hand gestures. They are more convenient and more precise, providing a large amount of accessibility to users that cannot properly do the ‘pinch’ technique.

As the article explains, the feature was being worked on for a while now. The voice tags for many commands were added in theWindows 10 Anniversary Updateand now we are seeing them being utilized in the Microsoft Store.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
