The only wake word available to the Amazon Tap is Alexa. Amazon updated the Tap with a hands-free mode that you must enable in the settings.

If you have an Amazon Tap, Dash Wand or the Amazon Fire TV voice remote, you'll need to press a button to wake Alexa. To change it, in the Alexa app go to Settings then Device Settings then select the Echo device you'd like to change the wake word on (you have to change each device's settings individually). You can also trigger your smart assistant with Amazon, Echo or Computer. To cue up a request, just say, "Alexa." You can change the wake word to something else if, say, your own name is Alexa, or you'd just prefer an alternative. For example, you can say "Hey Alexa, turn off the kitchen lights in 5 minutes."īy default, Amazon's connected speakers all have the same wake word.
And if you want to turn on a light or some other smart home device, you can now schedule it. 
Using Amazon to make purchases from Whole Foods for curbside pickup? You can say "Alexa, check into Whole Foods" to let the grocery store know you're there.If you're into shopping, you can say something like "Alexa, show me the green pleated skirt" to find specific clothing items using the Shop the Look feature, which you can also use for home and beauty products.

Amazon also announced the second-generation Amazon Echo Auto, which drivers can use to play music, make calls and even talk with an agent to request help by saying, "Hey Alexa, call roadside assistance.". The third-generation Fire TV Cube also has a few new Alexa commands, like "Alexa, watch ESPN on cable" so that you don't have to manually change inputs on your TV, and if you have a compatible webcam that you can connect into the Fire TV Cube, you can say something like "Alexa, call dad" to video call friends and family on your TV. With the new premium $35 Alexa Voice Remote Pro, you can say "Alexa, find my remote" into any Echo device you own (or the dedicated Remote Finder button in the Fire TV app) to play a sound from your remote, making it easier to find when it's lost. The "Hey, Disney" command, which allows you to get information and play around with some of Disney's most beloved characters, will unlock features with Disney's Magic Band Plus to play game-show style trivia games and more. He later returned to the theme during a limp segment about genealogy: "everyone on this panel will have a little bit of Scandinavian in them could everybody just make sure they haven't sat on Sandi?" Unsmiling, I added "ST absence = joke about smallness + Scandinavia" to the list. "I am the host this week because Sandi has been suspended for biting the producer's knees when her pre-show herring was not chilled to the correct temperature," Hardy began (Toksvig is 4ft 11in and from Denmark). This seemingly humourless move had been singled out as a rich source of in-joke material by the writers. The only curveball in this week's edition was that regular panellist Jeremy Hardy had been asked to chair, as Toksvig was off sick. Listening to the current - 86th - series, I've become convinced that if technicians programmed a computer with a wide-ranging set of News Quiz input-output rules ("Middle East peace talks = joke about Tony Blair" "Education cuts = ironic reference to Eton," etc) and fed it the week's current affairs, they could accurately predict the show's scripts. 
Worn smooth by nearly 40 years of regular airtime, it is now as cosy and predictable as pie and mash to my knowledge it hasn't caused a sharp intake of breath since 2011, when the host, Sandi Toksvig, made a pun about a four-letter-word.

The News Quiz (Radio 4, Friday), Britain's longest-running series in this genre, is also the lead offender in terms of bad topical comedy.
