Did you know you can customize your Alexa experience any way you want?
Here are the 5 best Alexa skills to help you get the most out of your Alexa experience.
1. USE WHISPER MODE AND ALEXA WILL WHISPER BACK
When we're having a relaxing moment and don't want to disturb the
peace. I can whisper to Alexa and she'll whisper back.
Silence is golden.
To activate it just say Alexa turn on whisper mode.
2. KEEP THINGS MOVING WITH FOLLOW-UP MODE
You can talk to Alexa like you would your best friend. You don't have to say Alexa before every command. Just enable follow-up mood and Alexa will respond to your follow-up commands without having to repeat the wake word.
After you say, Alexa, the blue light indicator will remain on for a few seconds and you can give your next command.
You can enable follow-up mode and the Alexa app or you can say Alexa enable follow-up mode.
Follow-up mode is now on.
If you want Alexa to remind you of something, like you want Alexa to remind you for your laundry, just say: "Alexa remind me to do
my laundry at 2:00 p.m. today."
ALEXA will respond to you in this way: "Okay I'll remind you at 2:00 p.m. today."
3. BE BRIEF WITH BRIEF MODE
In brief mode, Alexa can turn on or off the lights, give you all the info you need, and play songs with just a chime.
Alexa turns off the lights.
To turn on brief mode, open the Alexa app and head to the menu. Then Settings.
Under Alexa preferences select voice responses. Find brief mode and use the toggle to turn it on or off.
4. KEEP IT SAFE WITH AN EXPLICIT FILTER
My nieces should be over in about 10 minutes. When you're having guests over, you want to set the right mood.
With Alexa's explicit mode feature, you can keep a not-so-family-friendly song off your playlist. Just enable it in the app or say Alexa turn on the explicit filter. Okay, I've turned on the explicit filter for music.
Now Alexa is safe for all ears.
" HERE'S A HELPFUL REMINDER.
NEXT TIME USE A TIMER"
5. CONTROL THE VOLUME BY VOICE
Let Alexa get the place moving with one simple volume command.
Just tell Alexa to set the volume to a number between 1 and 10. Alexa turns up the music to 4.
Alexa turns up the music to 7.
Alright, you know I can't turn down an impromptu dance party.
Those are a few of our favorite features.
