Nameless Being
 
I just noticed another strange Alexa awakening from last night. The text records that my Dot in the living room heard "Echo, I am I drive." I initially assumed she heard that from a TV commercial about cars, but when I played the voice recording it actually recorded an address being given out on my radio scanner to an EMS unit. What Alexa actually heard was, "608 Kelly Drive, 608 Kelly Drive" but she thought she heard "Echo, I am I drive." Funny, not even close, and the recording BTW is crystal clear. So she definitely needs a lot more work to get her hearing corrected.

I guess when she heard "Six oh eight" she mistook that for "Echo". She certainly wakes up a lot when she hears "Oh" in a word or phrase. I think the first occurrence of 608 in the address callout probably got her attention, but she seems to have recorded only the second callout of the address. I have no idea why she would interpret "Kelly" as "I am I" as they sound nothing alike.
