One of the beauties of Alexa<\/a> is that you can ask her anything. She may not always have the answer, but you can always ask her the question. I have been using youtube videos to improve my repotoire of meals. However I was getting stuck on what to type in the search box and sometimes when I did I would be overwhelmed with suggestions that I didn’t know where to start, so I decided to ask Alexa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can try this for yourself, here are a few to try “Alexa, give me a pasta recipe”, “Alexa, give me a chicken recipe” and “Alexa, give me an easy dinner recipe”. This command will give you a recipe suggestion. These now give me good starting point for searching on youtube and from time to time I will use Alexa’s suggestions if I have the ingredients. The end result is that I am eating a wider variety of home cooked dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I haven’t been able to quite work it out, but my Uncle is either going deaf or he just pay attention when I talk to him. He is constantly asking me to repeat what I have said more slowly. The problem is at the moment there isn’t a command to get Alexa to repeat herself (yet I can on my Sat Nav). The most straightforward way is to repeat the question. However as I discovered when listening to audio books, I can change the speed at which the book is played. I subsequently discovered that you can ask Alexa to speak more slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just try the command “Alexa, speak slower”. In fact Alexa<\/a> has “7” speaking rates, the default, 4 faster ones and two slower ones. You can obtain them by using the following three phrases: “Alexa, speak slower”, “Alexa, speak faster” and “Alexa, speak at your default rate”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
