stusviews Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) Amazon has added "Computer" as a wake word. Don't mention computer near an Echo or Dot if you use the new wake word Edited January 18, 2017 by stusviews
Teken Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Saw this a couple of days ago but for the life of me it didn't make any sense until I read this article: http://www.aftvnews.com/amazon-echo-and-echo-dot-update-adds-computer-wake-word-to-help-complete-the-star-trek-fantasy/
Karen L Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 I like it. I'm happy to see it evolve. My Uncle used to use Homeseer and called his virtual assistant "computer". He later changed it to "Amber" and gave her a British accent.
larryllix Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) I haven't seen any changes here yet, for mine. Amazon needs to add a few more names that aren't quite so common and enough of them, that every TV show and movie doesn't trigger it a dozen times per evening by harrassing the poor girl with ridicule. I hope the girl that "donated her voice" is getting paid well. She sings quite a few songs now. Edited January 19, 2017 by larryllix
stusviews Posted January 19, 2017 Author Posted January 19, 2017 The Alexa app can recognize most names we give to devices. I'd like the app to recognize a wake name of my choosing. (Also posted on the Echo forum.)
