Alexa 'Wake Word'

Terrysdelight

Hi

I really want to change my Echo Plus Wake Word. Currently it is Alexa, but it looks like I can only change it to Echo, Computer or Amazon.

I want to change the wake word to Boris. Does anyone know if I can do this please?

So basically you can’t do it.

Unfortunately you can't at the moment.

Presume you just want to be able to say "Boris .... STOP!" :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Ours seems to have gotten worse. Watch the Amazon adverts and not a peep from it which is great, watching youtube videos that mentions it and sometimes it triggers, mostly good.

Watching a show when someone said Alice and its awake.

Said to my daughter "what time are you in work tomorrow" and its awake ??

Or 'Hi Google'........That said it, very occasionally, goes independent. All part of the fun...:)

I wanted to change my Alexa so it sounded like Brian Blessed but you can't do it apparently. It does change its voice as recently mine has developed an even more annoying American accent when I changed wifi router.

It's always listening and recording and sending stuff to be listened to by people in centres all over the world.
