Coin Apps and Alexa

erwindoc

I got Amazon's Alexa for an early Christmas gift. Does anyone know of coin related apps or newsI could tell her to play?

I have no idea.... and I am too old and old fashioned to have Alexa... I can turn on my own lights, change the channel, and google what I want to know....No issue with those that like this technology...just not for me. And my wife would not like me talking to Alexa.. Cheers, RickO

Alexa would give me Dyslexia.

I'm just fine without it.

Great gift though.

I love Alexa. She's amazing. Go to this page and search coins. There's a few.

Also, try the skill "Akinator". It is unbelievable.

I don't want the wiretap listening to me. Really and truly.

Already have enough suspicions about the Apple PC and iPhone.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

Thanks for the link.

I can't hear Alexa. Damn female recorded voice. My hearing does not allow me to use apps with female voices. Perhaps software developers should think about using a voice that all can hear with relative ease (strong male voice). Common problem for just about everyone as we age. Our hearing becomes impaired and the first to go is the female voice (children's too) as they are at frequencies that do not compute.

Higher frequency loss...

Is that what you tell your wife as she is standing over you with a rolling pin for not doing your honey due list?

As a retired Audiologist, I can assure you @amwldcoin that my wife understands my hearing problems. No rolling pin, but an occasional "hmph" or some other expression I cannot hear!

What is "Amazon's Alexa?"

Why would I want to tell a wiretap that I collect coins? Might as well tell them your address.... but I'm sure they already know it.

Very easy to hack into. Still in infancy. Let them work
out the privacy issues. Let someone else hassle with
the growing pains.

I understand that this defeats the whole purpose of owning an Alexa but there is a mute button on top of the unit if you are concerned about privacy.
