How To Pronounce Amazon Alexa?
Alexa pronounces names incorrectly—here’s how to correct it – First of all, you will need to install the Alexa app on your smartphone. You have already had to use it to set up your Echo speaker, but if you have changed your phone in the meantime, you can download it again for Android and iOS for free. From there, proceed to log in to the app and enter the settings. Follow these steps after that:
Tap More at the bottom right. Go to settings in the Alexa app. Select My profile, Tap on your profile or the one whose pronunciation you want to adjust. Select Edit name and pronunciation at the top of the screen. Go to the saved pronunciations (at the bottom of the screen). Listen to the wrong pronunciation—again (🙄). Select Let’s fix this, You can choose between one of the three options or type in a desired pronunciation here.
Typing the pronunciation can be a little tricky, because Alexa recognizes certain phrases as abbreviations. For example, my name is “Ben-jah-min,” where the “min” is pronounced as “minute.” That’s absolutely wrong, of course, unless my parents have kept me in the dark for almost 30 years that my name is actually pronounced as “Benjaminute.” By the way, you can change the pronunciation for any profile in your Alexa family.
