Customers can now adjust the speed of Alexa’s speech.

Beginning today, customers in the U.S. can ask Alexa to speak slower or speak faster, enabling Alexa to adapt to a diverse set of customer needs. Whether customers ask Alexa for the weather, the latest news, a sports update, about an upcoming event on their calendar, for a definition, and more, they can now choose from seven speeds – Alexa's standard speaking rate, four faster speaking rates, and two slower speaking rates. Simply say "Alexa, speak slower," or "Alexa, speak faster" to adjust Alexa's speech to the preferred pace on any Alexa-enabled device. To reset Alexa's speaking rate, simply say, "Alexa, speak at your default rate." We’re thrilled to introduce this feature to help customers further personalize their interactions with Alexa, and adapt the experience to best fit their individual needs.   We care deeply about customer feedback and consider it an essential part of the development process. We always aim to design and build produ...
