Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #416
Hey there, I hope you are having a fantastic day, or a fantastic morning, or evening, or whenever you are speaking to Alexa. Hope it is going well for you. I have a little feature that I discovered quite by accident, and here’s how I discovered it.
I was getting ready for bed. I wanted to set an alarm for the morning, but my wife was asleep, and so, I wanted to try to see if the whisper feature was available in Canada. And, if you don’t know, the whisper feature has been available in the United States for some time now.
Basically, what that is, is you get to ask Alexa a question by whispering, and Alexa actually responds to you by whispering as well. So it’s great for those situations where you don’t want to be noisy, you don’t wanna wake somebody up.
So, I tried it. I tried whispering to Alexa, and what did she do, very loud and proud, she just answered my question and set the alarm. So, it wasn’t all that successful, but here’s the thing, and I wonder if this is a hint that the whisper feature is coming to Canada.
You got to try this out. Ask Alexa, “Can you whisper?” And even if your account is set for Canada, for Canadian English, she actually whispers back to you, and I think that the whisper voice is really good.
I have a little feature that I discovered quite by accident.
I think it actually sounds very realistic. So try it out. Just ask that question simply, “Alexa can you whisper?”, and she will say something to you back by whispering, I think it’s very cool.
So hopefully the actual whisper mode will be coming to Canada soon. Now, I also just want to give a quick shout out to somebody else who left a review for the flash briefing. This is Peter Wolf. He gave it five stars.
He simply wrote, “Great content. All the new things”, and that’s great, Peter. Thank you so much for that. I try to keep on top of the new things as best as I can, and I really appreciate the five-star review. So thank you very much.
