Alexa Can Track Stocks

Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #1052

Hey there, Teri Fisher here and boy, it’s been a wild ride already when it comes to some of the markets.

I don’t normally talk about this, but I am fascinated by Bitcoin and if you are, you might be interested in this little tip that you can use Alexa to, well, basically to help you keep track of what’s going on.

This doesn’t only apply to cryptocurrencies, it applies to any stock that you can trade and simply, you can just ask Alexa for an update on your stock.

So, for example, you could say, “Alexa, how much is Bitcoin?” “Alexa, how much is Apple?” or “Alexa, how much is the stock Amazon?”

Now sometimes you have to say the word stock in order for Alexa to understand you because otherwise, I tried just saying how much is Amazon and she gave me the price of an Amazon subscription.

So, but here’s what you get, if you have a Show device, a device with a screen, you actually get a graph of the stock, you get the closing price at the time that the market closed.

This doesn’t only apply to cryptocurrencies, it applies to any stock that you can trade

If it’s after the market has closed for the day, and it gives you the percentage change over the last 24 hours.

So if you are into tracking your stocks or cryptocurrencies or whatever the case may be, then you can use Alexa for that.

So there’s a little tip for you today, hopefully that is helpful for you.

I hope you’re doing well, if you’re interested, I have another episode of The Voicefluencers Show happening today at four o’clock.

You can catch it on Facebook, on YouTube, on Twitter, on LinkedIn, you basically just look for my channel, wherever you are, DrTeriFisher.

And we’re chatting with John Stein today, who is the director of the Open Voice Network, a very, very interesting network that really is setting the standards for voice technology.

So hope you’ll join us there at four o’clock live on all the streams, talk to you later and of course, I’ll speak with you again tomorrow.
