Hi, Peter;

That never occured to me to run Alexa with those other voices in my I-pod
Touch. I will have to think about trying that, sometime. That might work.
Then again, they all might clash with each other. Good luck trying that.
Maybe I'll wait and see how successful you are attempting that before I do.
My luck, they'll speak at the same time and produce chaos, similar to trying
to run two different screen readers at once. Take care. 

Lillian

Together?

 

Good evening everyone,

 

                We're considering adding the Amazon App to our iDevices
running Voiceover and Siri. We currently own the iPhone 6+ and an iPod Air2.
Since the Amazon App includes Alexa naturally we want to use it. We'd be
curious to hear if anyone has used Apple iDevices successfully with Alexa,
Siri, and Voiceover running simultainiously. I discovered that Alexa has
capabilities (Skills) not available in Siri such as the ability to dictate
passcodes into fields within the Amazon App. Your successful stories,
cautionary tales concerning running such a cocktail and any other feedback
will be appreciated. All the best.

 

Peter Donahue
