Command Alexa

Command Alexa, the latest version 2.2 developed by Software Creations.US, offers an innovative way to interact with your Alexa device using text to voice technology to automate your commands stored as text. This program allows for your Alexa commands to be stored as text and then spoken for you, eliminating the need to voice them out loud, which can sometimes be a chore.

A key feature of the program is that it comes with five different wake words already installed, and you can change the wake word with just a single click. It also supports adding or removing phrases easily, which are saved as a list for your convenience. This is especially useful because it gives you easier control of your Echo device and lets you see at a glance all the different phrases available for use with Alexa.

In addition to the basic functionalities, Command Alexa now includes date/time scheduling that can be set daily, to weekdays, or a specific date and time. This feature is perfect for automating tasks such as turning lights on or off at predetermined times, which can serve as a burglar deterrent or simply to make your life easier by automating routine activities.

Moreover, the program now offers the capability for translating text between two languages, making it a versatile tool for multilingual households or for those learning new languages. Users can change the base language in the Alexa app and add new Windows system voices to accommodate additional languages, including English, Chinese, German, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish.

While Command Alexa does require a purchase to use the wake word and to add or edit phrases from the program's list of phrases, it indeed makes using an Echo device even easier than before. Interested individuals can try out some basic features and see if it meets their needs before committing.
