Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #921

Hello there Teri Fisher here with your flash briefing for Thursday.

First of all, huge thank you to everybody that showed up at The Voice Den last night, five o’clock Pacific.

It was fantastic another episode in the books session number four is now in the books.

Session number five is now open for registration and we are giving away some of the NFT collectible cards.

If you want to enter that, if you go to TheVoiceDen.com, you can check it out.

Now, today, I want to give you a really practical tip, particularly if you own the Echo Dot with a clock.

And if you’re wondering, how can you change the brightness of that display on the clock, here’s how you do it, okay.

This feature is called adaptive brightness and it changes the brightness automatically based on the ambient light in the room.

However, if you choose, you can change the brightness manually and the way you do that is you go into the Alexa app, okay, you select devices, you then select display, and then you can turn the adaptive brightness feature on or off.

Or you can drag the slider to change the level of the brightness and that’s how you do it.

So if you find it’s way too bright, if you find it’s way too dim, you have control over that and that is how you do it, so there you go, alright.

Now today, before I sign off, I also want to give a shout out to Debra Blackburn.

You can change the brightness manually and the way you do that is you go into the Alexa app

Debra left a review of the Voice in Canada, flash briefing on the Amazon.ca site, and she gave it five stars, so thank you, Debra.

And she wrote, “Great info. Love this edition to my daily briefing. Took me a bit to figure out that you use the name Lexi instead of Alexa, but you’ve taught me something new each day. Thanks and keep up the great work.”

Well, I’m very pleased to hear that thank you, Debra, and yes, for those of you that maybe didn’t hear me first start using the term Alexa way, way back.

The reason I do that is because if I say the “A” word, Alexa, it tends to trigger everybody’s devices when they’re listening to the flash briefing and I’m trying to avoid that.

So that’s why I came up with the nickname Lexi and it sort of has stuck for close to 100 episodes now.

So there you go, thanks so much for that review, Debra, thank you for taking the time even just a few moments to do that really, really appreciated.

And for anybody else in our community, Northern voice, if you want to leave a review that would mean the world to me, you just go to VoiceinCanada.ca and you click on the red button, leave a review, very simple, take you a few seconds.

Thank you so much and we’ll be in touch tomorrow, take care.
