I really just want to be able to activate my devices' voice control by saying "Computer". Siri/Alexa/Google just don't have the same Star Trek ring to them ;)

- khedoros1 10y agoAlexa's activation words: Alexa, Amazon, Echo, Computer. The last was added a couple months ago, I think.
- gambiting 10y agoAnd all of these are poor choices. My partner's name is Alex, I use Amazon and Computer all the time in daily conversations around the house, the only one that is semi-rare is Echo. Ideally it should let you choose any word.
- khedoros1 10y agoIdeally, sure. That's far from the only thing that's non-ideal about an Amazon Echo, though. The person I was responding to was interested in using "computer" as their activation word.
- pauloday 10y agoPretty sure you can do that with Alexa. There's one in my office, and my co-workers use "computer" as the wake up phrase.
