Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #1145
Hey, hey Teri here, hope you’re doing well, happy Thursday, as I’m sure you know, many people use their Alexa devices to set timers.
And have you ever had this happen? You set a timer and you realize, Oh, it was the wrong time or you realize you needed more time and then you think, Oh no, okay, now I have to cancel that timer and then set a new timer.
Well, there’s an easier way of doing that and it’s just by saying, add or subtract time, so for example, let’s say you set a timer for your pasta, and you say set a timer for seven minutes and you realize, no, actually, I want it to be nine minutes.
hopefully, that’s a little tip that will keep things a little bit easier for you to manage
Rather than deleting it and setting a new timer, you just say, “Alexa, add two minutes to my pasta timer”, and boom, it’s done.
You can also do the opposite, you can say, “Alexa, subtract two minutes from my pasta timer”, but then your pasta is going to be, well, maybe like a pasta underdone.
In any case, you get the idea, you can add and subtract time from your timers and hopefully, that’s a little tip that will keep things a little bit easier for you to manage your timers, alright?
Hope you’re doing well, talk to you again tomorrow.
