Keep in mind you do need to install it on your system drive. Or, you can also use the keyboard shortcut which is Ctrl+Shift+A. If your computer doesn’t have wake word functions, you can still use it by clicking or tapping the Alexa button on the app and then speak your voice command. You can install it on any Windows 10 system, but only compatible computers support the wake word ability for a hands-free experience. This is a way for Amazon to untether Alexa from its Echo speakers and Fire TV devices and allow it to be utilized in more of your daily work activities. Here is a look at what you can expect from the free app.
But now, we have Amazon’s Alexa as a standalone app in the Microsoft Store for Windows 10 which should improve the overall experience. We showed you how to make Cortana and Alexa work together but that integration is clunky at best. This allows Cortana to access info from Alexa and vice versa. Last year we learned that Microsoft and Amazon had partnered up to integrate their digital assistants. Currently, it appears Alexa will be more productivity-focused to start, but more services and features are expected to be added. Some tasks like video and communication and certain services like Spotify and Pandora are not yet supported. It is capable of thousands of the various Alexa Skills that the digital assistant has available. The app allows you to use Alexa as you would on Echo devices like playing music or audiobooks, checking your calendar, creating reminders, controlling smart home devices…etc. On Monday Amazon launched the Alexa app for Windows 10 PCs via the Microsoft Store.
