Hi William,
OK Google is the Android version of SIRI on iOS. With the right
Android phone one can just say Ok Google and it will chime at which
point you can give it a command. On some Android phones one has to
instead double tap the voice Search or voice command button on the
screen normally found at the top just beneath the notification bar. I
doubt the OK Google command will work on a Fire tablet.

hi marie.
1. i take it that "ok google" is a skill that you are trying to get
alexa to respond to?
it seems that skill (for sure) is a skill associated with echo, but,
perhaps not the fire? or, it is necessary to install/enable that
skill? open up the alexa app link on the home screen and see if you
can find that skill if you have not already done this.
lastly, just blue-skying, have you said "open ok google" instead of
just "ok google"?
by the way, can you explain what that skill does?
i know for sure that apps native to the fire will open. if you say
"open email" the email app on the fire will open.
default keyboard? if you go to "quick settings" then tap on "settings"
and then on "keyboard and language" you will have an option to make
your installed google keyboard set as default.
stay well ... william

Thanks so much for the info and I now have Alexa working fine.
Now do you have a tip for getting OK Google to work? It has been trained
and
says it is on for all screens but when I say OK Google, nothing happens.
also is it possible to make the Google keyboard the default?
Marie
