Re: looking for input on any of the amazon devices

I think with the music, if you are an Amazon Prime subscriber, you get
a sampling of 2 million songs. Though there is variety in this
sampling, after a while, the songs seem to repeat themselves in the
different playlists. There is an unlimited music subscription program
just for Echo owners called something like Amazon Music Unlimited,
which costs $3.99 monthly. That is the cheapest monthly music
streaming price I've ever heard of. It lets you create playlists and
save songs offline, but since I already have a family subscription to
Apple Music, there does not seem to be an incentive to getting the
unlimited music on the Echo. Still, I can see how it could be used if
you don't have Apple Music, or want to have access to unlimited music
all of the time. There is a way to setup instant ordering with the
Echo, but I've chosen not to do that, as a safe guard for accidentally
ordering something that I didn't want. Or, to prevent Alexa from
triggering on those magic words spoken from other media. I have the
Echo Dot and it is extremely easy to use to set timers, play games,
check the next game of your favorite sports team, and much more.
What's fun to do is asking Alexa to play the top songs from a certain
year.

Well I have the Amazon Alexa and then had it for about a month and it is 
absolutely wonderful, you can search for a Recipes any kind of thing you think 
you can want to cook you can even tell you how to cook a hotdog really I am so 
serious. Also I will set timers various timers not just one.
It will tell you the weather, and you can call people and I repeat you can call 
people that have an Amazon.are any Amazon echo they both work the same so you 
can make clear phone calls through device as long as they're in your database 
on your phone. So just a wonderful wonderful thing plus plays music anything 
you can think of I mean literally anything you can think of from listen to 
music from the 20s and 30s I have audible books it can read books through your 
device if you have those downloaded and can't think of the Amazon tablet right 
the top of my head but it'll read the books if you have books on there it will 
read those books as well so a very smart little device to having your home and 
you can also hook up with the devices to turn your lights on to but there are 
more devices coming out that will work through this last such as crockpots, 
coffee makers,, stats, Doraville's, locks for your door to open your door so 
such a wonderful little device is it is something I really didn't think I would 
use very much but I'm finding out that I use it quite a bit and you can listen 
to various baseball Games so there's so much on this device that I don't even

you can play Jeopardy and word jams and the hangman your sis and List and List 
things that are available on this thing to entertain yourself so they're 35 
bucks at Best Buy I think they are as much as 50 bucks for the echo..
But if you were an Amazon prime member you can get the Amazon Alexa which has 
the large speaker and it and you can spread the payments out into five payments 
which makes it really more affordable so Amazon prime is a nice thing to have 
so much my Amazon Alexa so I can say all the other fun to store did the other 
fun thing they have is a skill that is called guard dog and you can say guard 
dog and this big ferocious dog will start barking at various random times so it 
sounds like you have a very large dog in your area so thought it was kind of 
cool so cold you can download the Amazon Alexa app onto your phone and use and 
use it to call your friends that have echo dots or have the Amazon Alexa app on 
their phone as well so there are several ways to use this

RE: looking for input on any of the amazon devices

2017-08-05 Thread Merv Keck 
Hi,
On the iPhone side, you just need the Alexa app. You can manage multiple Amazon 
devices through the Alexa app.
To answer the question about the usefulness of the Show in relation to other 
Amazon devices, that would depend on the individual.
I can think of several uses for mine if someone sighted had one. But I don't 
really have a desire for one just now because I already have a Dot and an Echo. 
And I don't feel a need to bring up YouTube videos that I cannot see by voice. 
Or video chats I can't see. Or send video messages I can't see. I can do that 
on skype. Laughs!
One good thing that amazon is doing though is that every skill that is being 
developed for the show is being required to be functional for all amazon Echo 
devices without video. So the screen is a bonus but not required for any skill 
even if developed for the Show.
Merv

RE: looking for input on any of the amazon devices

2017-08-05 Thread Merv Keck 
The Show is the newest in the amazon line of Echo devices. It is an Echo with a 
seven inch touch screen. And it is accessible with voice view. The average cost 
in US dollars is around $229. Chris G of Mystic Access did a podcast and review 
of the unboxing and accessibility of the new Echo show. 
I have an Original echo and a Dot. I actually like the Dot better even though 
the sound is smaller unless it is connected to an external speaker via 
Bluetooth.
The Echo will also act as a speaker if you connect your iPhone via Bluetooth. 
But the volume is rather low.

Subject: looking for input on any of the amazon devices

Hey guys,

I thought this might be a good place to post this.  I'm thinking of getting 1 
of those cool amazon devices, i think she calls herself Alexa.  I'm looking for 
input on accessibility, functionality and all that?  I heard some of them work 
with your iphone.  Anyone have any suggestions? I'm still trying to figure out 
what exactly these devices do and what the purpose of them is.  Any thoughts?

Cheers,
Jed
