Hi, How do you get Alexa to go to hands free? I looked through settings and
there doesn’t seem to be an option to turn it on.
I still have to hold the home button on the 2nd tap to get her to respond on
my Fire 7”.
I’ve just checked for any updates to the Fire and it says there aren’t any,
and the last update was last November.
Am I missing something?
Thanks, Ian.
Thanks.

Hi David,
I have a version 8 tablet with hands free.?? I have not found any difficulty
with using Alexa with Voice View.?? Voice View seems to do pretty much what
it is supposed to do and Alexa normally does nothing unless you mention her
name and give her commands.?? If I am in music, for example, I can ask Alexa
to play something.?? I can ask her what is playing or who is the artist, for
example.?? She reads this with no input from Voice View.?? On the other hand,
if I want to check it ou myself, I simply swipe to the information I want and
use voice View commands to read the wanted information.?? If I leave the
cursor sitting on a name or title, for example, when the track changes, the
information will be read to me by Voice View.?? I hope this information will
be useful to you.
Carol

My Fire is asking me to turn on handsfree Alexa.

However I think I saw that there were some negative consequences of doing
this for Voice View???s ability to interact with the Fire tablet if you do
this.
Is this still the case?
