Lenovo REACHIt Extends Cortana Search Capabilities

Personal technology brand Lenovo has partnered with Microsoft voice search product Cortana in order to extend search to personal clouds across Lenovo devices.

Coupled with Cortana, a new Microsoft search feature called REACHIt makes it easier to find a specific photo or file in Windows 10.

REACHIt allows users to implement Cortana voice search across devices to access specific files via personal cloud. A unique Lenovo user ID will link all Windows 10-enabled tablets, PCs, and phones to connect all of a user’s personal files, including photos, videos, emails. Cortana search works from all devices, so a file uploaded to a PC can be accessed from a phone or tablet from anywhere, using a variety of different keywords, such as location or date. lenovo-reachit

For example, a Lenovo user looking for a vacation video saved to a phone doesn’t have to remember the name of the video or even have the phone accessible. He or she can simply ask a REACHIt-enabled device to find “that video I took in Paris.”

In a prepared statement, Mark Cohen, vice president of ecosystem and cloud services at Lenovo, described REACHIt as a cross between a personal assistant and trusted friend. “What you need is an assistant – a friend – who is always at the ready to help. That is where Cortana and REACHit come in, enabling people to find their personal content in an incredibly natural way – by asking a friend for help.”
