Hi guys, I am Blind and so, therefore, I have to use assistive technology in order to use the computer, I have used the Echo Dot since it's release, in fact, I was on the beta team way back in 2015, *sorry that's what I do for a living, I test review products for many different companies to assess their `usability` by VIPs - VIP = Visually Impaired People, I currently testing the latest G TECH
Alexa is great, I use it for everything from turning on lights to `Alexa turn the kettle on` ( I have an APP KETTLE as well)
At 9 am each morning Alexa says "Good morning Bob time to take your meds" which for `forgetful folk` is a real Godsend - how many times back in the day did your parents say, "ooh I forgot to take my pills"
Whenever I am cooking and I need a `Timer` for whatever I just ask her to set the timer.
A truly wonderful piece of equipment
