stusviews Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Amazon has added "Computer" as a wake word. Don't mention computer near an Echo or Dot if you use the new wake word Link to comment
Teken Posted January 18, 2017 Share 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/ Link to comment
Karen L Posted January 18, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment
larryllix Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 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. Link to comment
stusviews Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share 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.) Link to comment
