Interestingly I can play
this ad and she doesnt respond to any of the Alexa commands. She doesn't even blip blue to show she's awake and waiting for a command, despite the number of times the word Alexa is said. I wonder how they do that?
Oh wow. I found the answer
hereWell, the echo/Alexa definitely hears the request. If you go into your settings, scroll down to General and then select history you can play back all of the requests which are heard. All of the requests that are heard from the commercial say "Voice request not intended for your Echo—nothing was returned.".
So I did that and sure enough there's about a dozen or so notifications at the time I played that particular Ad which says
"Text not available. Click to play recording"
So I click and It says "Voice request not intended for your Echo - nothing was returned"
I've scrolled down and there are several others marked with similar. I have an awful lot of stuff in there, but from a quick glance they go back to Jan,
If I ever have time it would be interesting to go through some of them ...
... but mystery solved re the God trigger. "
Me legs are". Now imagine someone in pain screaming that and why she responded "I'm sorry, I don't know how to help you with that"
