    How to make Amazon Echo respond to the Star Trek wake word 'Computer' - Pocket-lint

    Star Trek fans, hold onto your hats, because the it has finally happened: the Amazon Echo will now let you use Star Trek's wake word "Computer" rather than Alexa.

    Made famous by Picard and the crew in Star Trek The Next Generation, you can have your Amazon Echo now respond to the same command - there's even a collection of Star Trek Easter Eggs, which is a lot of fun.

          Got my son one of these for Christmas. It's really useful if you are blind but he had to switch it off when he was listening to the football on radio 5 -each time alexis Sanchez was mentioned it would pipe up saying 'I don't understand Sanchez gets the ball'
          Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

          I preferred version 1!

              there isn't some football player called "Computer"???

              Try the top post in thread or below.

              Here's how to change your Amazon Echo wake word:

              Open the Alexa app on your smartphone
              Open the menu by tapping to icon in the top left-hand corner
              Select settings, then select your Echo device
              Scroll down to "Wake Word" and select
              Use the drop-down menu to select Computer and hit save

                It should be able to hook it up to the fridge so that when the wife opens it, it plays the football chant "who ate all the pies". Then it's a real lifestyle tool.

                  MF's team is working on that.

                  CES 2017: LG fridge is powered by Amazon's Alexa - BBC News

                  LG has unveiled a fridge powered by Amazon's Alexa.
                  The inclusion of the virtual assistant allows the device to be told to play music and buy goods via voice command.
                  The Smart InstaView also has a 29in (73.7cm) touchscreen that can reveal what is inside and warn if products are near their expiration dates.
