However, it may be muted. There are four buttons on top. Of the 5th gen Dot. A plus and minus which are volume buttons. A round button which is both used for resetting and for waking up the Lady A. And opposite that is the mute button. That mute button makes a sound when mute goes on and off. It is higher pitched when mute goes off than when it is muted. Hope that helps.

RE: BARD on the Echo 10- my mistake
Hello all I’m sorry I got you all excited about accessing BARD on an Echo device. I just realized it was NFB Newsline I never got working on the Echo. I just opened it and told it I wanted to read the New Yorker which is in my favorites. It started reading something at such a rapid rate, it was total gibberish. Alexa would not allow me to change the rate of speech by simply talking to the device. I might have to do that from the screen or the Alexa App. From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Monday, August 1, 2022 11:16 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: BARD on the Echo 10 I wonder if someone confused Bookshare with BARD?

Re: Renaming Echo
> Hi, everyone. I just renamed two of my echo dots, both fourth gen. All I did was go to the Alexa app, then devices, then all devices. Once there, tap on the name of the device you want to change, then on device settings. You'll see your current device name, then VO should say edit name. Double tap, delete what's there and type the name you want, then hit return on your onscreen keyboard. The name should be changed now. At least, that's what worked for me, so hopefully it'll help anyone else who wants to rename their echo. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

Hello Sarai, Okay, I don't have a 4th gen echo. Have you done a search on the web to see if anyone else has had a problem renaming one? Also, if you have another smartphone or iPad signed into your Alexa account, I suggest that you try renaming it on a second device. Finally, although it may prove to be more trouble than it's worth, you may consider deleting the Alexa app from your phone / tablet, rebooting the device, reinstalling Alexa, then try to rename the Echo afterwards. A couple of months or so, ago, this was the only solution that worked for me when my Alexa app refused to perform what was considered to be a normal function.

Re: pandora music from specific artists through an echo device
As Kenny said, you need to create a radio station using the artist’s name. Once the station is created and plays music from the artist and adjacent artists, you can tune the station to play primarily songs from that artist. Go to your Pandora app on your iPhone and open the station, select crowd faves, and tune the station to another listening experience. I have a marshal Stanmore Voice with Alexa and adjust my listening preferences regularly.

Re: echo and echo dot
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 5/21/22, CHELA Robles wrote: > I have the third generation echo dot.

I have the third generation echo dot. It’s the last one that looks like a hockey puck the fourth generation looks more spherical.

RE: echo and echo dot
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 if that is more due to my internet or that they are far from fool proof. For the most part, I love having them and use mine each day. If you don't need a screen for any reason, don't bother buying the more expensive ones. Read the specs for each device so you know what you are paying for. I bought an Echo 5 inch screenn one for something like $33 a year or so ago for a friend, and she loves it. I can ask her to check in on my dog while I am away if I have any concerns.

RE: echo and echo dot
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 be Wi-Fi in the house. There are a fair number of commands to learn, but I think just asking Alexa for help in how to ask it things results in some good help. I think the Echo Show 5 was about $70? There are newer models of course but you can get her something that will sound good and be loud enough if her hearing is getting less acute for well under $100. Someone will need to set it up for her of course.

Re: Questions about the echo earbuds
I have no problem letting amazon have access to my phones contacts. I can just tell my echo to call anyone from my phone's contacts, and the call happens easy as you'd want. Very cool in my opinion. I'm more for headphones then bluetooth earbuds, but there are some very interesting choices out there when it comes to earbuds and what kind to get.

Oh I totally agree. I only raised my point because this is your phone, not your Amazon device. You can use your Amazon dvices without allowing them to have access to yhour contacts if you so desire. But you can't even install these buds if you don't allow access to your contacts for example. i get why they're doing it, I might be willing, but it's more invasive than other headphones, that's all. If you're already using your Amazon device to make phone calls for example, there'd be no difference and probably convenient to have the phone do it.

Re: Questions about the echo earbuds
I don’t want to stimulate a privacy rights debate. However, one could argue if one already has an Amazon device, your privacy has already been penetrated. It is possible to mute the microphone on the earbuds, but then you are sacrificing a basic function of the product. Ultimately, people should decide when and how to spend their money, but as to the original question, they are a very competitive choice when pitted against other brand names, Especially given the current promotion.

Re: Questions about the echo earbuds
I absolutely don't think these are a good idea. Theyw ant way too much permission just to be earbuds. They want access to everything you do on your phone not just waht you do with the Alexa app. This is partly how the iPhone is designed, when it gives permission it gives it across the board. But I don't want it recording everything I do on my phone, not that I do anything, but still. So I use my regular Airpods to listen to audible books on my phone using the Audible app and that works great.

RE: iPhone accessible thermostat preferably with Echo capability?
To each their own, this sounds like a somewhat clunky solution to me having to purchase two things and I for one certainly would not want to carry my thermostat around from room to room and next thing I am running around trying to find it. The Honeywell T10 allows you to add sensors to multiple rooms and I believe so does the Ecobee and maybe the Nest. I prefer to just tell Alexa in whichever room I am in to turn the heat up or down. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Mike Arrigo Sent: September 20, 2021 7:46 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Cc: e...@groups.io Subject: Re: iPhone accessible thermostat preferably with Echo capability?

Dude, If temperatures get to those negative levels, I’d suggest moving to a warmer climate Or getting a big open fire that you can roast a beast on as well as keep warm! Cause that’s bloody cold. From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Tuesday, 21 September 2021 5:46 am To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: iPhone accessible thermostat preferably with Echo capability? I think it depends a bit on what type of system you re getting. Doesn't the company which installs your system have any recommendations? I recently asked for a quote to upgrade my 25-year old mid efficiency natural gas furnace to a new high efficiency furnace and heat pump. For us up here in northern BC a heat pump can have a lot of advantages, unfortunately it is too cold in the winter at times to rely on it exclusively since once you get to below -5 or -8 degrees it can't take any heat out of the air any more and you still need an alternative source furnace like natural gas or electric. Anyways, my point is that the quote I received is for an American Standard furnace and heat pump which are all linked together and in order to get the best performance you also need the American Standard thermostat. I have this also at my retail store and the app which is called "AS Home" is quite accessible, not so much the scheduling option, but all the rest I would say is just as good as with my Honeywell Lyric T5 which uses the Honeywell Home app and while I don't think the American Standard thermostat is home kit compatible, it is compatible with both Alexa and google. If you can have any thermostat you want I think the Honeywell Lyric line are a good choice which would be the T10 if you want it to be compatible with air conditioning.

RE: iPhone accessible thermostat preferably with Echo capability?
Hi Pam, Richard, and Others who replied, Thanks so very much for your quick replies. I ended up getting the Ecobee 4 Smart Thermostat. The folks at my air conditioning company were very helpful researching the smart thermostats and confirmed that they’ve had good success with the Ecobees working with the systems they install. They even found one locally and bought it at the same price charged by Amazon so it could be installed when they install the new system tomorrow. It will be very nice to be able to use Alexa to control my thermostat going forward. Thanks again for all the quick replies and help.

Alan, We recently got an Ecobee thermostat which was recommended by our HVAC company and it works with our Trane air conditioner. I do not remember the specific model offhand, though. My husband and I are both blind, and after the initial setup, we have had no issues using it with their app or Alexa. The only time we needed sighted help was during the setup process to enter the WIFI information directly on the touch screen of the unit. There may have been a way around this that we might have missed at the time, but a call to AIRA helped get this part done. Anyway, we are very happy with this unit.

The company should be able to tell you which thermostats work with your new system that are Wi-Fi compatible.

RE: iPhone accessible thermostat preferably with Echo capability?
Alan, We recently got an Ecobee thermostat which was recommended by our HVAC company and it works with our Trane air conditioner. I do not remember the specific model offhand, though. My husband and I are both blind, and after the initial setup, we have had no issues using it with their app or Alexa. The only time we needed sighted help was during the setup process to enter the WIFI information directly on the touch screen of the unit. There may have been a way around this that we might have missed at the time, but a call to AIRA helped get this part done. Anyway, we are very happy with this unit. Pam From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Monday, September 20, 2021 2:28 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: iPhone accessible thermostat preferably with Echo capability? Alan, Open the Amazon Alexa app on your phone and go to add new device and select thermostat and it will ask you for the brand and give you a pretty long list of brands. That might help. The company should be able to tell you which thermostats work with your new system that are Wi-Fi compatible.

RE: iPhone accessible thermostat preferably with Echo capability?
Alan, Open the Amazon Alexa app on your phone and go to add new device and select thermostat and it will ask you for the brand and give you a pretty long list of brands. That might help. The company should be able to tell you which thermostats work with your new system that are Wi-Fi compatible.

RE: iPhone accessible thermostat preferably with Echo capability?
I think it depends a bit on what type of system you re getting. Doesn't the company which installs your system have any recommendations? I recently asked for a quote to upgrade my 25-year old mid efficiency natural gas furnace to a new high efficiency furnace and heat pump. For us up here in northern BC a heat pump can have a lot of advantages, unfortunately it is too cold in the winter at times to rely on it exclusively since once you get to below -5 or -8 degrees it can't take any heat out of the air any more and you still need an alternative source furnace like natural gas or electric. Anyways, my point is that the quote I received is for an American Standard furnace and heat pump which are all linked together and in order to get the best performance you also need the American Standard thermostat. I have this also at my retail store and the app which is called "AS Home" is quite accessible, not so much the scheduling option, but all the rest I would say is just as good as with my Honeywell Lyric T5 which uses the Honeywell Home app and while I don't think the American Standard thermostat is home kit compatible, it is compatible with both Alexa and google. If you can have any thermostat you want I think the Honeywell Lyric line are a good choice which would be the T10 if you want it to be compatible with air conditioning.

Re: iPhone accessible thermostat preferably with Echo capability?
Hi Alan, We have used the Nest Thermostat for years. I realize there are less expensive options out there. As far as the app is concerned, other than not being able to work the schedule feature, it is perfectly accessible. The schedule is not a big issue for me, since it learns your preferences as you adjust the temperature. That piece works well. When we travel, it is easy to adjust the state of the system. For instance, we went away for 9 days, and I turned the system off. Before we arrived home, I was able to re-enable the system. It does work with Alexa. Hope this helps.

Removing an Echo Dot, from within the Alexa App
Hello everyone, I need to remove one of my Echo Dots. I don't want to de-register it. I just need to remove it from my device list. We aren't using it any longer. I googled instructions on how to do this. I am supposed to be able to use the Alexa App, go into settings, all devices, and then go to the device I want to remove. There is supposed to be a delete button. Well it states, trash can. However, I can't find a way to remove this Dot. Has anyone tried this before? If so, what kind of luck did you have? I think maybe this button isn't accessible, or just doesn't even show up. Can anyone possibly offer any help?

Actually Mike, QuickNav is off when you are entering text, but note that in the VoiceOver Typing Feedback settings there are separate settings for software and hardware keyboards. Make sure the Hardware keyboard is set the way you want it. QuickNav is short for Quick Navigation. That has to be on when you are trying to navigate. Like using control+up arrow to jump to the top left of the screen. But when you go into a text field and want to type if QuickNav is on, VoiceOver will try to interpret your keystrokes as navigation commands. Since Apple stopped having VoiceOver speak “QuickNav On or QuickNav off” you only have the rising and lowering tones, which are not so distinct as the speech would be.

RE: New Echo
There are so many variations on Echo devices, that I suspect the Google Home might be closest to the Echo Show or the full sized Echo, whatever it is called. Maybe the Google Home Mini could be compared to the standard echo, but if you are comparing the Google Home to the standard, small Echo, that is like apples to oranges. I've not heard either one, but based on my reading, that is what I would conclude. Richard Ralph's Observation: It is a mistake to allow any mechanical object<>to realize that you are in a hurry.

Hello Sieghard and list The other thing which disappoints me about the echo show is that I hoped that if one use the translate function or read a Kindle book that the text would show on the screen but this does not happen.

RE: Timer sounds -RE: New Echo
Deirdre, On the Alexa app, go to more, Alarms and Timers. Note that the only place you can set the sound is on the alarms tab, those are used also for the timers. There should be a setting button, then a default sound that says link I think. Double tap on that and you will find a variety of sounds. There are what it calls Custom sounds, which I think are paid sounds, or at least some of them are, but you cannot use your own sounds, you can just pick from the available sounds.

Re: New Echo
Oh, Joshua, that’s too bad. Kind of defeats the purpose of being in the kitchen cooking and needing to pause the playing for whatever reason without having to touchthe phone with messy fingers! Sound coming from the speaker though it’s definitely superior to that of my phone if it’s not hooked up to my stereo. My echo just started making a funny noise and I couldn’t figure out what it was about. Then I remembered I said a timer. It’s a noise I never would’ve associated with a timer since it’s not any kind of noise I’ve ever heard on my iPhone. I wonder if I can reset the sound to something else. These are the questions I have. I looked in Settings a few days ago at the sounds heading and didn’t see any way to set anything specific. Have I missed something? I guess I could address this to the other list which I subscribe to by Brad‘s recommendation. I think I associate these questions with the accessibility capacity since it’s an app on my phone which is why I continue to ask questions here. Plus I never got a response to my first post to the other list! I’ll try again.

RE: New Echo
As for Bard books, I do play them on my Alexa through my phone but I have found that when I say pause or stop it doesn't work. I still have to manually stop it on my phone. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Saturday, March 6, 2021 12:12 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: New Echo You have to understand the way these devices work. The Alexa app on your phone is primarily an interface to adjust settings on your Echo speaker, add skills and so on.
