Voice assistants (and their smart speakers) come equipped with thousands of commands that they understand right out of the box. Here is a list of some of the voice assistant commands in Canada. I used to say that this was a complete, definitive list, but with the smart speakers getting smarter by the day, it is impossible to keep up. It would be like trying to write down every sentence a person learns as they learn a new language – an impossible feat! Nevertheless, here is an extensive list to get you started!
Just remember to start your phrase with the appropriate wake word (i.e. Alexa, Hey google, Hey Siri, etc.)
