Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #145
Alright, some more routines news for you. As you may know, I love Alexa routines. That’s how I start my morning.
Every morning I’ve got a routine set up that she goes through all these different things that she tells me and, I’m ready to start my day.
So here’s the deal though, as you may know, there’s a new version of the Alexa App that came out not too long ago and one of the features on it is an upgraded list of things that Alexa can say when you are starting your routine.
Now in the past it was just some stock phrases and of course those are still there. So when you click on freight, when you go into your routines and you click on what Alexa can say, you’ll see that you can still click on phrases and there are tons of phrases that you can choose from.
You may find that this makes your morning a little bit more interesting.
But that’s not all that Alexa can say. Now when you’re triggering your routine, she can actually sing you a song.
She can tell you a joke, she can tell you a story. She can simply say, good morning and when you do that, she’ll tell you something new and interesting every day.
So that’s not just her saying the words good morning, but there’s more to it than that and she, can also set up a custom phrase.
So if there’s something in particular that you want Alexa to say, at a particular time or when you trigger a particular routine, then you can do that.
So there’s a lot of ways that you can now customize the routines and I wanted to let you know that, bring that to your attention.
You may find that this makes your morning a little bit more interesting and also gives you a little bit more variety in terms of what Alexa saying.
So enjoy and as usual, if you find any great ideas or ways to use this, I want to know about it. And, and again, just a reminder that if you feel so inclined to leave a review for the flash briefing, it is so very much appreciated.
You can find all the information to leave a review at VoiceinCanada.ca so thanks very much. Enjoy your routines and I’ll talk to you again tomorrow.
