Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #1294

Hello. It’s Teri here and it is Saturday. And that means it’s time for a couple of fun commands. Now, if you were listening last week, I think it was last week, I said that Alexa can give you ideas of what you can wear by just saying, “Alexa, what can I wear?”

Well, if you like to doodle, or you like to draw, and you’re looking for fun ideas of things to draw, you can actually ask Alexa for some inspiration. Simply ask that, “Alexa, what should I draw?”

And, if you need new ideas, then just keep asking because she has lots of different ideas on that. So there’s a fun little command for you today.

You can use that to navigate the web if you want to use your Echo device for that

A Couple of Fun Commands for Alexa That You Can Play With

One other one which I think is quite practical is you can actually say, “Alexa, open Silk” on Echo devices with a screen because that is the name of the browser that Amazon has.

It’s the internet web browser, Amazon Silk. And if you do that, Alexa will actually open up a browser on the screen. And then you can use that to navigate the web if you want to use your Echo device for that.

So, there you go. A couple of commands, a fun one, and a little more practical one. And, I hope you have a wonderful Saturday. We’ll talk to you again tomorrow.
