Title: Alexa will call you by name now
Post by: Laurel on October 12, 2017, 04:29:40 pm

Using your alexa app if you go to settings >accounts>your voice, you can have Alexa call you by your name.  I like it, but you may not.

I just check it out. I did not press begin. Coz from what I understand, it will use your own voice in answering if I understand correctly and you can record a voicemail? I don't need it coz I don't use that feature. I did not see that it can call your name or something.

That is interesting as I can't get the legal alexa app so I download the apk one from Pure, and it updated for me with the voice selection.

(sigh) this feature in both Alexa and GH won't be useful to me.  I'm the only one in the house that uses them.

It's really the same here, but I like the novelty of it lol.
