Voice controls are one of my favourite smart home features, especially when I’m using my smart speaker. But for those who don’t want to shout ‘Alexa’ constantly at their Echo Show devices, or if you’re trying not to disturb other people in your home, there’s a quick and easy way to access Alexa without having to shout at her.
For those who own an Echo Show smart display, Tap to Alexa is a handy yet underrated feature that saves your voice and makes common requests and actions more seamless. Rather than shout ‘Alexa’, you can enable Tap to Alexa so you can type commands and see your frequently used requests by tapping on the screen.
