Alexa

I love the new tv advert!

All I hear from people who have one...or similar, though...is that the word recognition can take ages...if at all!

Do you have any experiences to share?

I have a few echo devices and the Alexa response has always been more or less instantaneous.

Re: Alexa

ours is quite good, I don't use it but my hubby does. Sometimes though we will be watching TV and all of a sudden it starts telling us something we haven't even asked about and makes us jump!

Could be, they're that good.

Re: Alexa

No trouble with my Yorkshire accent either. Don't know how it would handle Welsh though.

Re: Alexa

You have to set your home location on the Alexa app on your phone.

Mine tells me the weather in my district.
