Alexa is a voice-assistance program that helps people with different tasks. It’s one of the popular voice-control devices to make your home digitalize. The device works by translating your voice commands into computer language and performing the task. With your voice commands, Alexa can set the alarm, set reminders, access the web, call people, play music, answers your questions, and more. An additional advantage of Alexa is that it supports languages like Spanish, German, English, Portuguese, and other languages. If you want to change Alexa’s language, you can change the setting by using the Alexa app on your smartphone.
