I got a memo from Audible today and here's what the web site says: If only we could get more than 1.5X out of dear Alexa! Apparently, "Alexa, speed up" is another viable way to increase the rate. At least in the future they don't have to say a name first when turning on the lights!Īnd I noticed Amazon and Audible are finally touting Alexa's variable playback speeds. Robb thought about the potential confusion and solved the problem that way or just did it accidentally.
I noticed in the In Death series, which is set about forty years in our future, that the characters often refer to the machine as the "comp", but when addressing it to locate someone in the building or do an information search they first say, "Computer.". some rare name or nonsense syllable that doesn't occur anywhere else. What I really need is the ability to create my own wake word. And with a computer that speaks, every visit to Amazon.Com would trigger the device! ) The problem is that all alternative wake words also appear in books, on the internet, and in my everyday conversations. I think it's important for all of us to insist that the reading functions of the Echo work, or we'll eventually have devices that are good for telling us the time and little else. I stopped even asking how much time is left in a book! Still, I think it's more that I'm being trained by my Echo than it functioning all the time as I want. I mentioned earlier that I've had similar problems when switching back and forth between devices, but the problem doesn't show up if I don't switch immediately from one to the other and back-den to kitchen to den, for example. I use my Echo all the time for reading and would hate to lose any of its functionality. I know what a pain in the backside dealing with customer service can be, but I think you should really consider contacting Amazon about this.

All of the problems started in December and seem to worsen over time. Stephanie wrote: "I'm getting very frustrated using my Echos to listening to audiobooks.
