Using Amazon Echo Show to communicate
Using Amazon Echo Show to communicate
Using Amazon Echo Show to communicate with a loved one who has trouble using a phone is a great way to stay connected by just using one's voice.
Being able to just say aloud "Alexa call Sharon" and have the device make a call to that loved one can be transformative for someone who would struggle to pick up a landline and dial or operate a cell phone. This eliminates the margin of error because there is nothing to remember and it's so easy to do.
Also being able to see the person they are talking is not only more fun but helps a lot with a sense of calm and providing context around who they are talking too!
