Title: Control of Alexa's rate of speech
Post by: Jim Connelly on January 14, 2018, 06:38:32 pm

It would be great if we could slow down Alexa's speech as elderly Mother in care home cant understand the present speech speed.  Will this be forthcoming in the near future. This could also be very advantages to all other forms of disability.        Come on Amazon tell someone to get on with it. Its your community duty.!!!!!

Personally, Alexa's speech is just right, although I realize some people have issues with anything faster than a slow southern drawl, you all. I grew up in the south but overcame that disability years ago.

Also, if one does not understand Alexa, all they need to say is "Alexa, repeat".
