This Amazon Echo Guide in English is my manual for the Amazon Echo and Alexa.
When you read this book, you can set all the important things for your Echo yourself: have the messages read aloud automatically, turn on the lights, start the morning program and set the conditions with IFTTT (If This Then That). Now the Echo is your smart home!
All this and much more can your smart assistant, Amazon Alexa: read books aloud, find recipes, manage lists, organize calendars.... and there are more and more things Alexa can do every month, and each month your Echo gets even better. This book is my guide to the Amazon Echo, which I have been using myself for about a year.
The Echo is fascinating, because in the past, I should have looked something up on Google and started my computer or my phone. Today, I just say "Alexa, ..." and Alexa does the work. No matter where I am or what I do. The Amazon Echo manual shows you how.
Here's what your Echo can do - and I'll show you how with simple instructions.
Play all your music from Amazon Music, Spotify, TuneIn or others at your request.
Use voice command for Internet searches.
Get audio books, news, traffic and weather information, sports results, schedules or search results read aloud (with a pleasant voice!).
Check the lamps, switches, thermostats in your Smart Home or switch them off under certain conditions (start the morning program!).
