It turns out that Alexa really digs British accents, too

[kestrell]

I haven't had a problem with Alexa being activated by VoiceOver, the built-in screen reader on my iPhone, since the first week I got my iPhone, but i recently switched VoiceOver to a British accented voice, and now Alexa is really anxious to fulfill my iPhone's every whim.

I thought Alexa was supposed to be *my* familiar...

On a related note, I've spent the past hour attempting to set up Spotify on Alexa...

....seems like there's a good horror premise for the machines to talk to each other overnight

I have a Commonwealth full of accents.

Australian Siri on my phone; Irish Siri on my tablet; Silent type-only Siri on my Mac

I use Acapela Rachel in Voice Dream Reader, especially helpful since I'm reading lots of Sherlock fanfic. Had to teach her the correct pronunciation for U Cal Berkely, though.
