Thanks for all the welcome.I started today with a Windows Central question (why is Cortana not working properly and crashing ) after which I joined the forum.My speech to text is also not working,it says 'try again' when I press the microphone.So I am missing Cortana's full functionality after the upgrade,though she shows the reminders I set from my laptop and my interests from Windows phone 8.1.I was wondering whether something is missing from my Settings.
