Well I guess some people can’t make a differentiation between a similar word activating an Echo device, meaning it turns on the blue ring on top and thinks about what was spoken, and triggering an actual verbal response. Those are two different things. Activating the Echo to perk up and think is not the same as actually triggering her to speak a response. As far as “relaxed”, Alexa is fairly successful at recognizing similar words to her wake word, but she seems to be very inconsistent about whether she verbally responds to a similar word as her wake word. Heck, sometimes she doesn’t even respond to her wake word. And each Echo device seems to be at least a little different in this regard with some doing better than others. It is Alexa’s inconsistency in responding that often makes her difficult to deal with.
