Get Your Weather, Find out the Time, Shop for Papertowels, Set an Alarm with Simple Voice Commands September 25, 2019 |
Hello Get Your Weather, Find out the Time, Shop for Papertowels, or Set an Alarm with Simple Voice CommandsMy husband, friends and grandchildren will tell you that I have lots of fun these days with my new "friend" Alexa. Grandkids get to hear corny jokes, friends get to listen to a new favorite music artist and my husband gets the local weather report. I'm always demonstrating some new way to use this handy hands free voice activated device that benefits those with or without vision loss.
The cylindrical round smart speaker, called the Amazon Echo, sits on my kitchen counter, always ready to help. She will set a timer, give me a news update or place an order for papertowel. Ask her for a joke, how many cups are in a quart, or to add eggs to your shopping list. Shop without Having to Go OnlineYou can get papertowel or batteries delivered to your door without having to go to a store or even having to shop on line. No more going to a website, logging in, entering a password and credit card, etc. With a simple voice command you can find out if there are any deals or simply place an order.
Check out how Alexa can simplify your life in practical and fun ways. Leslie Degner, RN, BSN Better Health for Better Vision |
