Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #1112
Hey, hey Teri here with your flash briefing for Saturday and as usual on Saturday, we like to highlight some commands that you can say to Alexa, so let’s get right to it.
Here’s some practical ones for you for this week, ready? Here we go, number one, you can say, “Alexa, how do I play music downstairs?”, for example.
And this is kind of cool, because if you’re not sure about a function for Alexa, you can actually just ask her, “how do I do that?” and hopefully, she’ll be able to help you out.
she’ll check the traffic and give you an estimated time for your travel.
So there’s the first one, the second one is, if you’re looking for traffic on how to get to a particular place, the airport for example, I know we’re not going to the airport these days, a whole lot, but you get the idea.
You can say, “Alexa, how is traffic to the airport?” or fill in the blank for location and she’ll check the traffic and give you an estimated time for your travel.
And finally, here’s another practical one about the weather, if you’re wondering specifically the temperature, you can say things like, “Alexa, how cool will it be today”, and she will tell you the forecast and specifically the temperature as well.
So hope that’s helpful for you, hope you’re having a great weekend and we’ll talk to you again tomorrow.
We the voice.
