How to play fortnite in mac. Amazon Echo devices come integrated with the Alexa intelligent personal assistant, which means that you get to use voice commands to interact with the device, or even to control other gadgets.

The Reverb application enables you to connect to your Amazon account and start using the service from your Mac computer. Even though you can perform the same action via a web browser, the Reverb utility allows you to do so from a standalone app.

Connect to your Amazon account and control your Alexa enabled devices

Right off the bat, Reverb prompts you for your Amazon credentials and prompts you for permission to interact with your account. The best part is that the configuration procedure resumes to this single step.

In fact, Reverb comes with a minimalist user interface and does not integrate any customization options. You can move the Reverb window position, but the app will not remember the change between sessions.

What's more, you cannot resize the Reverb window, which might prove to be rather annoying if you need the desktop space: the app's window is quite large, while the functionality is not very sophisticated.

Interact with the Alexa assistant by using a microphone connected to your computer

How to upgrade mac os x yosemite. The Reverb application automatically detects if there is a microphone device connected to your Mac: it can either work with the built-in mic, or with any other microphone device connected to your computer via USB.

Just click with your mouse on top of the Reverb microphone button and hold it down while using your voice to give various commands. As soon as you release the button, the Alexa assistant will start assessing your voice command and perform the tasks.

Desktop client that enables you to interact with Alexa without cluttering your browsers

Bottom line, Reverb is a simple application that enables you to connect with your Amazon account and start using the Alexa intelligent personal assistant either to get access to information or to control devices associated with your account.

Keep in mind that Reverb can control various Alexa compatible types of devices, but you cannot use it to set timers, or interact with music or audiobooks.
