How do I activate Cortana without pressing a button?

[Windows Central Question]

For example in iOS, I can just say "Hey Siri" when she's plugged into a battery source.

If u have a Snapdragon 800 powered phone like Lumia 930/Icon/1520 then u can say "Hey cortana" and activate it after denim update. But other models can't do that...

If you have the Denim update it's the same. Go into settings and near the bottom should be the Hey Cortana settings. Set it up there and just say "Hey Cortana" and she'll pop up.

It's in the main settings as "Hey Cortana". If you are able to use it.

The new denim update uses hey Cortana. It will ask you to train her for few times then you are ready. Make sure you are in a silent area, not totally but to make it easier for Cortana to recognize your voice better.
