"What time is it" -- being able to find out what time it is without looking at my phone makes it a little easier to go back to sleep. My voice is so mumbly when I am 90% asleep that I usually have to repeat this 2-3 times, though!
"Play NPR News"
"Set an alarm for x time"

- untog 10y agoThis is one of the reasons I'm hesitant about anything voice-based: you can't help inflicting it on other people. If I ask what time it is in the middle of the night on a regular basis then my wife is going to get annoyed at me pretty fast.
- tedmiston 10y agoI use dictation for text messages all the time when I'm by myself. I wish there were a way to use that in a controlled way around other people. Something like directional audio.
- CptJamesCook 10y agoGood point. Alexa is more of a tool for a single person. I won't use this functionality if someone is sleeping anywhere in my house, because you have to speak pretty loudly to get Alexa to work.
