I got a Stuttering "Unnacceptable is.... <long pause>" and then "unacceptable is... <long pause>" 3 times, then told me There were no new messages at this time. My brother-in-law had the same thing happen on his... Weird stuff...

After 3 times of stuttering at it... she finally got it right tonight too... Probably just my voice... I have done the training exercises several times to help recognition... Maybe it will get better over time. I kind of think each time there's an update, the Voice recognition might be resetting or something...

Unacceptable; no problem for me, but then I am not from Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee or any state where TV announcers do not come from who have trouble with pronunciation.  Must be a regional problem; Alexa does not have an accent and apparently has trouble with hearing "through" them clearly.  Although I was born in, and lived in Atlanta, GA until age 6, and where accents can be cut with a knife, I was spared the GA accent affliction for the most part.  Ya'll got that?

Dang it!  First my Texas drawl is disparaged and now my home state of Georgia (long sigh with a definite southern drawl!)

I agree with poster above that said voice recognition training is reset with updates.

I've also noticed this.
