I remember hearing that shopping may be limited to things you've ordered on Amazon before.

However, I still do not know how to get downcast to play using the echo and also don't know how to get a shopping purchase completed. Any help would be greatly Appreciated. Also, to use the echo with At Bat, do I open the At Bat app first? Sent from my iPhone On Jul 1, 2015, at 4:39 PM, May <[email protected]> wrote: hahaha, you are very welcome. Sometimes it just takes asking a question to point out the *duh* things. I always bop myself on the head when I come across those.

Can’t believe I did not think of that as when you pair your iPhone with the Echo sure enough your iPhone volume must go to zero by default, just got it paired and playing something from Downcast on the Echo. Thanks so much and do pass along my thanks to your friend for pointing out the blatantly obvious. Ok, now this really changes things since the iPhone and VO does work with the Echo. Time to explore more. On Jul 1, 2015, at 1:04 PM, May McDonald <[email protected]> wrote: Hey Bryan. Check your audio ducking to make sure it's not on? Also, my friend said he just needed to turn up the volume on either the IPhone or the echo the first time he did it. Good luck.

The main reason I got it was to quickly use with MLB At Bat as my friend who does not use VO showed that feature off to me. Unfortunately since pairing the Echo with the iPhone seems to knock out VO it is not something I can do unless someone who uses VO has figured out a work around. Am going to play with it more today to see what I can figure out but tried it twice and both times VO disappeared, and I had to turn bluetooth off on the iPhone to then get VO back.

I did it with the Mac using the URL for the Echo site. It is still limited, but it isn't as bad as just being able to play prime music I think you are also supposed to be able to connect your tune in account, and if you have favorites, they are supposed to go to the top of the search list when Alexa searches using to noon. And, there is the news brief, weather forecasts, and other general information. I hope it will get better.

I did quickly get a response from Amazon as I sent them an email about the VO issues through the iPhone and they claim they are passing my feedback along to their developers so we shall see.

They didn't mention the ability to do anything else with the Bluetooth from the iPhone to your echo. I would be very interested to know what your friend is able to do with Bluetooth from their iPhone to the echo, and whether they are a vo user.

The Bluetooth will take your iTunes stuff that you select on your iPhone and plant over the echo speaker. I haven't done it. But that is what is supposed to do. As for your other stuff, no, it is a bust. The Mac app is kind of strange in that you have to do a lot of mouse rotting and pressing and praying, and eventually, you can probably get your news flash list set up the way you wanted. But forget that to do and the shopping list. No go all the way around until Amazon gets its accessibility act together sometime the next millennium.

It took awhile and some frustration but I finally got it to connect to my wifi network.I wanted to see if anyone found any works arounds for these two things. One I connected my iPhone via bluetooth to the Echo, but this completely knocked out VoiceOVer, congrats to Amazon for making the first bluetooth speaker that does not work with VO. Can anyone get their iPhone VO to play over the Echo? I want to pair it so I can listen to MLV At Bat games through the echo. The other thing I noticed is there is no way to delete items that you have added to your to do list and shopping list. I tried clicking the delete button both on the iPhone app and then on safari on th emac, but instead of deleting items it just kept swapping the item I clicked delete from one list to the other so taking a item on the shopping list and instead of deleting it moved it to the to do list. The button next to delete is move to the other list so obviously some kind of a focus issue. If anyone has had any luck with any of this please do let us know.
