When you think about Amazon’s Echo devices, you obviously think ofAlexa.
In fact, Alexa is no longer just an American voice.
you could now choose from many different voice types, including British and Australian.
Alexa will then respond with “I have a few voices to choose from.
Here are three that you might like.”
The assistant will speak a couple of phrases in each of these different voices.
You might hear voices with American accent, British accent, Indian accent, or Australian accent.
you’ve got the option to keep sampling different voices until you find the one you like.
If you have multiple devices, repeat this process to change the voice on each.
go for the Echo & Alexa button in the top-left corner.
opt for gadget you want to change the voice for.
Tap theSettingsgear in the top-right corner.
The same applies to other accents like British, Australian, and Indian.
Tap on a voice to hear a preview from the Echo speaker itself.
Here’s how:
pop kick open the Alexa app and go to the “Devices” tab.
Choose “Echo & Alexa” from the top.
Then, choose the Echo equipment where you want to change the language.
Next, choose theSettingsgear from the top-right corner.
Here, scroll down and choose the “Language” option.
pick the language you want, and you’re done.
Amazon(a bit impersonal, but okay).
Echo(to keep things on-brand).
Ziggy(a Quantum Leap reference).
Youll then be asked to choose one of the four options mentioned above.
Tap the gear icon to enterSettings,then tapWake Word.Choose the one you want from the list.
When the pop-up appears telling you the change will take affect in several minutes, hitOK.
Again, youll have to repeat these steps for each of your different devices.
