Hi,
I run all of the above and thus far have found no conflicts therein as they
usually don’t intermingle. I also have the Google assistant in the mix too.
As for Passwords I don’t know anything about that and I disabled Alexa’s
ability to make purchases as I’m too detail crazy and like to comparison shop
but other wise no significant problems. Some areas of the Amazon Alexa app
such as the areas where conversations are can be a smidge less accessible but
hopefully they’ll improve over time.
I’m not sure how much the app itself does if you don’t also have an Echo device
I’ll let others who know more address that.
Happy playing.
Robin

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.

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.
