Help[Opinions] Re: Alexa
in reply to a message by Snapdragon
Oh, I'm not exactly on the cutting edge myself. I will never speak to a machine at all, unless I'm forced to. When some automated system on a phone call asks me to "enter or say" a number, I pull up the keypad and key that sucker in.
Just saying, the echo thing isn't a very successful product overall, it's not expanding - and so I think the human Alexas of the world will see their problems decline in the future.
Do you say "Alexa" or do you use a different wake-word? Personally I'd change it but if you didn't think of that before, it's probably too late to change the habit.
Question for anyone - if you HAD to use a voice assistant, and address it with something other than "computer," or the name of a company associated with it, or any corporate-assigned name like Alexa, Siri, or Cortana - what would you use as the "name" or wake-word?
