Ah so there is one.  I didn't think there was.  That'll teach me for not
setting it up yet *smile*

Hi Mark

There is a speaker on both the Echo and Dot, but the depth of sound is
better on the Echo because its speaker is bigger.  I have put my Dot
upstairs now through my Kicker docking-station, and it sounds the business!
I have my Echo downstairs, and I love it as a radio.  I did try the Dot
through my hifi system, and it sounds great, but like the way I have each of
them set up now.

Kind Regards,

Jackie Brown

Thanks Jackie,

In terms of speaker, so there's no built in speaker on the dot? Or is there
one but quiet?

Hi Mark

It is up to you, but the Dot is cheaper than the Echo, and you can 
plug it into a speaker or hifi system as it has a 3.5mm socket on it 
whereas its big sibling doesn't.

Hi

I'm getting very interested in this topic, especially when it comes to 
multiple of devices..... I could treat myself an echo but would you 
recommend the echo dot first? Ok I'm partially sighted but I've got 
hearing impairment  and mild learning disabilities as well. I could 
ask Alexa to put loads of schedule reminders, but at the same time, it 
will just be like Siri but I would rather have something so I don't 
have to keep on charging the battery up all the time :) Lol!

Hi Steve

Yes I did know that, but I never remember the names of some of these
skills!
(smile.)

You can also go to Amazon, choose Alexa from the combo box in 
departments to search, and the latest skills are there.

Hi,

You do know both of you that you can add skills with your voice.  If 
you know the exact name of the skill, you can say for example "Enable 
Radio Player" and it will be done.

All the best

Steve

Hi David

I don't use it for precisely that reason.  Once I set my Echo and Dot 
up, I reverted to the website to add skills.  The app for me kept 
sticking or throwing me out, it drove me round the bend to be honest.

Hi,
I have now had my  Amazon Echo for just over a week now, but the 
Elara app has frozen four times since I installed it. Has others had 
this problem and if so how did you get around it freezing, so far all 
I have been able to is delete the app and reinstall it again, which 
is a bit
of a chore!!!
