OK, but tell me again, what is an Amazon Echo?
In case you have been living in the cave for the last year, Amazon’s Alexa is the voice-controlled digital assistant that powers the Amazon Echo and other related Echo devices. What makes this handy smart home novelty even more robust is that you can enable extra features and games to your Amazon Echo by enabling ‘Alexa Skills’. Skills are little Amazon apps that expand the power of Alexa and perform certain tasks.
Sounds life changing, how do I get started?
- You need an Echo device from Amazon to play. You can buy one from Amazon
if you don’t already have one.
- Once you have an Echo, just open the Alexa companion app that is used to set up the Echo device. Click on Skills and search for “Sporcle”.
- Enable the Sporcle skill – don’t worry, it’s free.
- Say to the device “Alexa, Play Sporcle!”.
