Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #897
Alright, Teri Fisher with your flash speeding for Monday today, and I want to talk about a new feature.
There’s been quite a bit of talk actually about how you can use the Alexa App on your phone hands-free.
Now I will say this that it’s not a hundred, hundred percent hand free because you still have to open the app, but once the app is open, then it is hands-free and it’s very, very cool.
The way you do it is, the first time that you use it, you’ll have to click the little icon of Alexa and then you get a message that comes up.
And in my case, I’ve got an iPhone, this also works for Android, my iPhone message says, use Alexa hands-free.
It just responds to like as if it was an Echo device.
Now you can just say Alexa to ask questions or use your favorite skills on the go.
To use hands-free make sure that Alexa app is on your screen, and then say, Alexa followed by your request and you can turn off the hands-free mode in settings at any time.
So you will see a button to click turn on, and once you have turned it on, then when you say the magic word, Alexa, it just responds to like as if it was an Echo device.
Like I said, the little catch here is that you do have to have it on screen, but as long as that’s the case, you’ve got an Echo device in your pocket at all times.
Alright, hope that’s helpful, have a wonderful day, talk to you tomorrow.
