Usually when I ply Susie with tech toys she just says "meh, I'd rather have ...", so I was expecting the same reaction about Alexa. How wrong I was! Being wheelchair bound she LOVES it when she can just tell Alexa to turn off the light instead of having to wheel herself over to the switch. And it's been growing from there, now she uses the alarms, shopping list, music, fact finder, etc. etc.
And Alexa likes her much better than me, where I have to yell at her, turn down the TV and yell again just to get her to listen Susie often turns on the blue light just from normal conversation. I tried voice training both Echos, and still no joy. I've found that pitching my voice slightly higher than I normally speak helps a little, but I still have to yell.
