Technology:Software How-To
In this podcast, I give you a brief demo of the English Australia voice of the Amazon Echo which is about to be officially released in Australia as of Feb 1 2018.
In the meantime, if you do have an Amazon Echo in Australia and you would like to use the new English Australia voice, go to
http://alexa.amazon.com
Choose the Settings tab, choose your Echo, choose Language, and in the language pop-up select English Australia.
The Australian voice Unfortunately pauses between paragraphs when reading a Kindle book after I posted this podcast, and even worse, I have now learnt that Amazon will not be allowing audible.com books to be accessed in Australia, which doesn't make sense since the service is here anyway.
The Amazon Alexa app is in the Australian iOS App Store.
