You can talk to the Amazon Alexa app on your mobile with your Bluetooth connected Voyager headset. You can tap-and-ask Alexa to play music, hear the news, check weather, and more.
Need to call someone? No problem: tap, say “Call Jane Smith” and it will dial out. And it’s just as simple to pick up an incoming call – simply tap to answer.
When it’s time to focus on work, tap to play your favorite playlist (“Play Ultimate Concentration playlist”). And because Alexa lives in the cloud, it’s always getting smarter with new capabilities that are delivered to your device automatically.
Using Alexa on your Voyager headset is simple – just tap-and-ask and Alexa will respond instantly.
Voice: more powerful than you think
Great for calls, great for work.
Voyager headsets are great for calls, but with the power of Alexa built-in you can now do so much more at work. Running late for a meeting? No problem: tap and say, “Message Dan to tell him I’m going to be 5 minutes late.” You can even schedule meetings, right from your Voyager headset. And if you want to find out what’s already in your calendar simply ask, “What’s on my schedule today?”
Use the power of your voice
Ask Alexa to recite your to-do list—or add something new. Check the weather to see if you should grab a jacket before heading out the door. And if you want to catch up with the news, just ask, “What’s new?” You can even set up routines, where a single phrase – “Good morning,” for example – can set off a stream of customized commands, from checking email to switching on your Alexa-compatible coffee pot.
