How about just putting an iPhone in a headset for a visual aide!

For about $20 apiece I bet you could undercut every visual aid company in the world. Of course head mounting an iPad mini would be better but I don’t think that would really be practical LOL Egun On, Lagunak! (basque for G'day, Mates Louie P (Pete) Nalda Facebook.com/lpnalda

Dan, I have used both the second and third generation of the echo dot. I think the third generation has much better sound quality. It also has tactil markers for all controls. I also tried the echo show 2. It has a camera and even better sound quality that the echo dot. A friend who has

I have a fourth generation Echo that I bought on sale for $60 that was originally $100. It has very nice sound. I often use it with my iPhone to listen to music from my phone and to stream audio dramas from my phone. I have also streamed bard books from bard mobile through my echo via my phone

They even sound better when you have 2 of them and they are paired. I think I got the same deal that you did for $60 each! Debbie -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Joshua Hendrickson Sent: Saturday, May 21, 2022 4:19 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com

The Echo Dot can be had for less than $50 and is worth a try. You’ll probably have to set it up through the Alexa app on your phone and you’ll need an amazon account to link it to. Once set up, it should be fairly straight forward to use. If it doesn’t work out, You can probably return it to

The object identification for the Echo Show is very slow and that's probably because you need to know where you are standing for the camera to get the best view. I didn't find it useful. My original Echo which is round with no screen works great. The ones with screens miss a lot but I can't say

I have the third generation echo dot. It’s the last one that looks like a hockey puck the fourth generation looks more spherical. I’ve also heard that echo shows are really good to use as well I don’t have one but if I did it would probably be the echo show eight. Sent from my iPhone > On May

I've heard, that you can't put 2 echo fourth generations in stereo mode then pair with bluetooth. If I had my own house, I'd have echo fourth gens in every room of my house. It would be great to go into the livingroom in the recliner and have the fourth gen echo on the table beside me. On

The main difference between the echo dot and the other echo units is size and sound quality. I have the Echo show 5. It has excellent sound quality. It does have the camera and if you hold something up to it and ask Alexa what it is, it will do a good job in telling you. Note, there has to

I know music would sound very good this way. However, since I mostly use my echo paired to my phone via bluetooth, I probably wouldn't have 2 of them in stereo. On 5/21/22, Debbie Downey wrote: > Joshua, > > When you pair the 2 devices that is what creates the stereo. You do have to > have both

Joshua, When you pair the 2 devices that is what creates the stereo. You do have to have both speakers in the same room! I go into the Alexa app on my phone to do this. It doesn't require blue tooth. Debbie -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Joshua
