Chat With Alexa

Chat with Alexa lets you talk to Alexa through text messaging. Just type your request and Alexa will give you a text response back. Use this app when:

• You need to be quiet to avoid disturbing others.

• You need privacy.

• Your Echo can't hear you due to background noise or being too far away.

• You have a speech or hearing impairment and can't communicate with Alexa normally.

Add your most frequently Alexa commands to the Quick Commands list, so you can send them to Alexa with no talking or typing. Add the commands to your home screen and send them with a single tap.

Use the app as a productivity tool to manage your calendar, to-do, and shopping lists. Full support is also included for Alexa reminders, timers, and alarms. You can control smart home devices such as thermostats, doors, and lights. You can also use the app to get news, weather, sports, and traffic updates, as well as enjoy games and third party skills.

If Alexa sends you detailed information, such as an extended weather forecast, you have full access to this. You can also play audio content, such as a Kindle books, radio stations, and news reports.
