The show mode on the Amazon fire tabletis completely different from the show
and tell feature on the Amazon Alexa devices. The show mode has to do with the
way in which information is displayed on the tablet,, to allowit to be seen
from across the room. Whereas, the show and tell feature allows The tablet
camera to take a picture of an object and then attempt to identify it.
Unfortunately, the show and tell feature is not available in the Alexa app on
any of the fire tablets. Terry

I have learned that the new hd8 2020 has or will have a show mode that can be
toggled on with a swipe or with alexa. I have not conclusively determined if
show and tell works in this mode. An amazon fire person said no but I’m not
sure I trust her info. If someone has the hd8 2020, would you enable show
mode and say “alexa, what am I holding” while holding a can of soup or
something in front of the camera and see what happens? Thanks.
