Dhawaan miyaad ku boodday bandwagon oo ma iibsatay Amazon Echo ? Haddii aad aniga oo kale tahay, waxaad u badan tahay inaad maqashay waxyaabo badan oo wanaagsan oo ku saabsan aaladda iyo sida dad badani u jecel yihiin Echo!

Hagaag, waxaan go'aansaday inaan arko waxa ay buun buunintu ku saabsan tahay oo waxaan helay mid naftayda ah. Waa inaan qiraa, Echo waa mid aad u xiiso badan in la isticmaalo, runtiina waa faa'iido leh haddii aad carruur ku leedahay agagaarka. Carruurtaydu waxay jecel yihiin inay codsadaan inay muusik ku ciyaaraan, waxaanan rakibay xirfado dhawr ah si ay u ciyaaraan ciyaaraha xisaabta, ciyaaraha erayada, iwm.

Maqaalkan, waxaan uga hadlayaa sida ugu dhakhsaha badan ee loo heli karo Echo -gaaga iyo sida loo habeeyo si aad faa'iidada ugu badan uga hesho dhammaan astaamaha hadda jira. Amazon waxay si aad ah u sii kordhisaa sifooyin cusub Echo usbuuc kasta, markaa waxaan sii wadi doonaa dhajinta maqaallo cusub marka sifooyinkaas cusubi ay ku sameeyaan qalabka.

Dejinta Echo

Marka aad hesho Echo -gaaga oo aad sanduuqa ka furto, waxa aad arkaysaa saddex shay oo gudaha ku jira: Echo , adabtarada korantada iyo tilmaamaha qaarkood. Si aad u bilowdo, waxaad ku bilaabaysaa inaad ku xidho meel gidaarka ah. Inta uu qalabku kor u kacayo, waxaad horay u sii socon kartaa oo aad kala soo bixi kartaa Amazon Alexa app iTunes ama Google Play Store .

Markaad soo dejiso app-ka, sii wad oo gal aqoonsiga akoonkaaga Amazon .

Markaad saxiixdo, horay u soco oo xidh abka ka dibna hubi Echo kaaga . Sida caadiga ah, marka uu kabaha kor u kaco, giraanta ku wareegaysa xagga sare waa inay iftiimisaa orange. Tani waxay ka dhigan tahay inay diyaar u tahay inay bilowdo habka dejinta WiFi .

Haddii, sabab qaar ka mid ah,, iftiinku ma aha orange, kaliya riix oo hay badhanka Action 5 ilbiriqsi. Badhanka ficilku^(Action) waa kan hal dhibic kaliya ku leh xarunta. Hadda aad telefoonkaaga oo aad qaybta dejinta WiFi .

Marka iftiinku yahay orange on Echo , waa in aad aragto Amazon-WVM network ^(Amazon-WVM) WiFi ah oo aad ku xidhi karto. Markaad ku xidho shabakadaas, horay u soco oo fur Alexa app ee qalabkaaga. Waa inay si toos ah u ogaataa inaad isku dayayso inaad dejiso aaladda, laakiin haddii kale, ku dhufo saddexda xariiq ee toosan ee bidixda sare, ka dib tabo Settings ka dibna taabo Set up qalab cusub^{(Set up a new device)} .

Shaashadda habayntu waa inay soo baxdaa waxayna ku xasuusin doontaa inaad hubiso in giraanta iftiinku yahay orange ka hor intaadan sii wadin.

Haddii wax walba si sax ah loo habeeyey, waa inaad ku aragtaa fariin ku xidhan Echo^{(Connected to Echo)} shaashadda xigta. Taabo Sii wad^(Continue) si aad u sii waddo habaynta

Shaashada xigta, waa inaad doorataa shabakad WiFi si aad ugu ^(WiFi)xidhid Echo^(Echo) kaaga. Tani waxay noqon doontaa shabakadda WiFi ee ^(WiFi)Echo -gaagu ku xidho marka la shido. Ogsoonow in aad bedeli karto shabakada WiFi ama aad ku xidhi karto shabakado dheeraad ah ka dib isticmaalka app.

Shaashadda xigta waxay ku tusi doontaa bar horumarka marka Echo kaaga la diyaariyo.

Marka wax walba la dejiyo, waa inaad awood u yeelatid inaad la hadasho Echo ! Markaad furto app-ka, waxaad arki doontaa shaashadda guriga^(Home) oo ku siinaysa talo ka dibna kaliya hal kaar ayaa kuu sheegaya inaad habayso Alexa .

Habka Echo u shaqeeyo ayaa ah in mar kasta oo aad wax weydiiso, ay ku jawaabi doonto cod, laakiin sidoo kale waxay ku abuuri doontaa kaarka app Alexa oo aad ku arki doonto shaashadda guriga. Tusaale ahaan, haddii aad tiraahdo " Alexa " oo aad tiraahdo " Waa sidee cimiladu? ^{(What’s the weather like?)}", waxay kuu sheegi doontaa hadal, laakiin waxay sidoo kale muujin doontaa macluumaadka ku jira abka.

Waa nooc ka mid ah diiwaanka taariikhda wax kasta oo aad u sheegtay Alexa . Si aad u kiciso Echo^(Echo) , waa inaad tidhaahdaa ereyga " Alexa ". Waxaad tan ka bedeli kartaa goobaha hadhow haddii aad rabto, laakiin kaliya " Amazon " ama " Echo ". Taasi way isbedeli kartaa mustaqbalka, in kastoo.

Habaynta Alexa

Waxa ugu horreeya ee aad u badan tahay inaad rabto inaad sameyso marka Echo uu kor u kaco oo uu socdo waa inaad tababarto codkaaga si ay si fiican kuu fahamto. Si aad tan u samayso, aad app-ka, taabo saddexda sadar ee bidixda sare, taabo Settings ka dibna taabo Tababarka Codka^{(Voice Training)} . Waxay si toos ah uga hoosaysaa Dejinta ikhtiyaarka aaladda cusub^{(Set up a new device)} ee aan ku sheegay bilawga maqaalka.

Markaad taas sameyso, waa inaad habaysaa muusiggaaga, wararkaaga, ciyaarahaaga, jadwalka iyo taraafikada. Si aad taas u samayso, mar kale u gudub Settings oo hoos ugu dhaadhac qaybta odhanaysa Account .

Dhammaan kuwan aad bay u fududahay in la habeeyo, markaa ma geli doono faahfaahin badan. Muusiga & Warbaahinta^{(Music & Media)} , waxaad ka ciyaari kartaa muusiga Amazon haddii aad leedahay Prime ama Spotify , Pandora , iHeartRadio ama TuneIn . Hoosta Flash Briefing , waxaad u habayn kartaa farabadan oo ah barnaamijyada wararka sida CNN , NPR , BBC , HuffPost , iwm

Hoosta Isboortiga Cusbooneysiinta^{(Sports Update)} , kaliya raadi dhammaan kooxaha aad ugu jeceshahay iyo Alexa ayaa ku siin doona cusbooneysiin ku saabsan dhamaantood markaad weydiiso. Gaadiidku^(Traffic)  kaliya waxa ay ku ogolanaysaa in aad gasho meesha bilawga ah iyo halka ay ku dhamaanayso hadda, marka waxa kaliya u fiican dadka maalin walba u safra isla wadada, tusaale ahaan guriga oo ay ka shaqeeyaan. Under Calendar , waxaad gali kartaa Google Calendar kaaga ka dibna isticmaal Alexa si aad ugu darto dhacdooyinka jadwalkaaga.

Haddaba maxaad leedahay si aad u dhaqaajiso dhammaan hawlahan? Hagaag, waxaa jira laba siyaabood oo lagu barto amarrada. Waxaad ku dhufan kartaa saddexda sadar ee bidixda sare ka dibna ku dhufo Waxyaabaha la isku dayo^{(Things to Try)} ama waxaad ka akhrisan kartaa dhammaan amarrada online^{(commands online)} .

Astaamaha kale ee gudaha ku dhex jira ee Alexa waa Saacadaha & Qaylo-dhaanta^{(Timers & Alarms)} iyo Liisaska Wax-ka- ^{(& To-do lists)}iibsiga^(Shopping) iyo Wax-qabadka . Si aad u dejiso saacad, waxa kaliya oo ay tahay inaad tiraahdo waa " Alexa, samee saacad saacad x daqiiqo^{(Alexa, set a timer for x minutes)} ." Wixii qaylo dhaan ah, kaliya dheh " Alexa, samee alaarmiga 4ta galabnimo^{(Alexa, set an alarm for 4 o’clock in the evening)} ." Waxaad sidoo kale dhihi kartaa AM ama PM haddii aad rabto.

Liisaska, kaliya dheh " Alexa, ku dar x liiska wax iibsiga^{(Alexa, add x to my shopping list)} " ama " Alexa, ku dar jumladaada liiska wax-qabadkayga^{(Alexa, add your-phrase to my to-do list)} ." Alexa , sidoo kale waxay ka jawaabi kartaa su'aalo kala duwan sida xisaab fudud ama beddelaad. Xaqiiqooyinka, qalabku wuxuu u muuqdaa inuu ku tiirsan yahay Wikipedia , markaa taasi waa wax wanaagsan ama xun, iyada oo ku xidhan cidda aad waydiiso. Waxaad weydiin kartaa waxyaabo ay ka mid yihiin " Waa kuma^(Who) madaxweynaha dalka X?" ama "Waa maxay caasimadda gobolka X" ama xitaa wax la mid ah "Magaca dhammaan qaaradaha".

Xirfadaha Alexa

Awoodda dhabta ah ee Alexa , si kastaba ha ahaatee, waxay ku timaadaa qaabka xirfadaha. Haddii aad ku dhufatid saddexda sadar ka dibna Xirfadaha^(Skills) , waxaad heli doontaa liiska dhammaan siyaabaha aad kor ugu qaadi karto Echo . Kuwani asal ahaan waa barnaamijyo yar oo loo qoray Echo shirkado ama shaqsiyaad kala duwan.

Waxaa jira xirfado farabadan, laakiin hadda intooda badan waa doqonimo ama faa'iido la'aan. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, liisku wuu soo fiicnaanayaa maalinba maalinta ka dambaysa qaarna runtii way wanaagsan yihiin. Carruurtayda, waxaan u isticmaalaa Xayawaanka Ilmaha, Higgaadda Shinnida^(Bee) , Kediska Jirka Aadanaha^{(Human Body Quiz)} , Xisaabta Maskaxda^{(Mental Math)} , iyo Xaqiiqooyinka Dinosaur^{(Dinosaur Facts)} .

Waxyaabaha qabow waa in wax walba lagu cusboonaysiiyo daruuraha, sidaas darteed qalabku wuu sii fiicnaanayaa oo wuu fiicnaanayaa iyada oo aan loo baahnayn qalab casriyeyn ah. Haddii aad wax su'aalo ah qabtid, xor u noqo inaad faallo ka bixiso. Ku raaxayso!

Getting Started with Your New Amazon Echo

Have you recently јumped on the bandwagon and purchased an Amazon Echo? If you’re like me, you’ve probably heard a lot of great thingѕ about the device аnd how a lot of people simply love their Echo!

Well, I decided to see what all the hype was about and got one for myself. I have to admit, the Echo is pretty fun to use and it’s really useful if you have kids around. My kids love asking it to play music and I’ve installed several skills so that they can play math games, word games, etc.

In this article, I’m going to talk about how to quickly get your Echo setup and how to configure it so that you can get the most benefit from all of its current features. Amazon keeps adding new features to the Echo pretty much every week, so I’ll keep posting new articles when those new features make it to the device.

Setting Up an Echo

When you get your Echo and unbox it, you’ll basically see three items inside: the Echo, the power adapter and some instructions. To get started, you start by plugging it into a wall outlet. While the device is booting up, you can go ahead and download the Amazon Alexa app from iTunes or the Google Play Store.

Once you download the app, go ahead and login with your Amazon account credentials.

Once you have signed in, go ahead and close the app and then check your Echo. By default, once it boots up, the ring that goes around the top should light up orange. This means it’s ready to start the WiFi setup process.

If, for some reason, the light is not orange, just press and hold the Action button for 5 seconds. The Action button is the one with just the single dot in the center. Now go to your phone and go to the WiFi settings section.

When the light is orange on the Echo, you should see an Amazon-WVM WiFi network that you can connect to. Once you connect to that network, go ahead and open the Alexa app on your device. It should automatically detect that you are trying to setup the device, but if not, tap the three horizontal lines at the top left, then tap on Settings and then tap on Set up a new device.

The setup screen should appear and it will remind you to make sure that the light ring is orange before continuing.

If everything is properly setup, you should see a Connected to Echo message on the next screen. Tap Continue to continue the setup.

On the next screen, you have to choose a WiFi network to connect your Echo to. This will be the WiFi network that your Echo connects to when it is powered on. Note that you can change the WiFi network or connect to additional networks later on using the app.

The next screen will show you a progress bar as your Echo is prepared.

Once everything is setup, you should be able to start talking to the Echo! When you open the app, you’ll see the Home screen gives you a tip and then just has one card telling you to customize Alexa.

The way the Echo works is that whenever you ask it something, it will respond via voice, but it will also create a card in the Alexa app that you will see on the home screen. For example, if you say “Alexa” and then say “What’s the weather like?“, it will tell you verbally, but it will also show the information in the app.

It’s kind of a history log of everything you have said to Alexa. To activate your Echo, you have to say the word “Alexa“. You can change this in the settings later if you like, but only to “Amazon” or “Echo“. That might change in the future, though.

Customizing Alexa

The first thing you probably want to do once the Echo is up and running is to train your voice so that it better understands you. To do this, go to the app, tap on the three lines at the top left, tap on Settings and then tap on Voice Training. It’s directly below the Set up a new device option I had mentioned towards the beginning of the article.

Once you have done that, you should configure your music, news, sports, calendar and traffic. To do all of that, go to Settings again and scroll down to the section that says Account.

These are all pretty easy to setup, so I won’t go into much detail. For Music & Media, you can play music from Amazon if you have Prime or Spotify, Pandora, iHeartRadio or TuneIn. Under Flash Briefing, you can configure a whole bunch of news programs like CNN, NPR, BBC, HuffPost, etc. Don’t go too crazy with this section though because your news briefing might end up being 40 minutes long!

Under Sports Update, just search for all your favorite teams and Alexa will give you an update on all of them when you ask. Traffic only allows you to enter a start and ending destination for now, so it is only good for people who commute everyday on the same route, i.e. home to work. Under Calendar, you can log into your Google Calendar and then use Alexa to add events to your calendar.

So what exactly do you say to activate all of these functions? Well, there are two ways to learn the commands. You can tap on the three lines at the top left and then tap on Things to Try or you can read all the commands online.

The other built-in features of Alexa are Timers & Alarms and Shopping & To-do lists. To set a timer, all you have to say is “Alexa, set a timer for x minutes.” For an alarm, just say “Alexa, set an alarm for 4 o’clock in the evening.” You can also say AM or PM if you like.

For the lists, just say “Alexa, add x to my shopping list” or “Alexa, add your-phrase to my to-do list.” Alexa, can also answer various questions like simple math or conversions. For facts, the device seems to rely on Wikipedia, so that’s either a good or bad thing, depending on who you ask. You can ask it things like “Who is the president of X country?” or “What is the capital of X state” or even something like “Name all of the continents”.

Alexa Skills

The real power of Alexa, though, comes in the form of skills. If you tap on the three lines and then Skills, you’ll get a list of all the ways you can enhance the Echo. These are basically little apps written for the Echo by various companies or individuals.

There are a bunch of skills, but currently most of them are silly or useless. However, the list is getting better by the day and some are really good. For my kids, I use Baby Animals, Spelling Bee, Human Body Quiz, Mental Math, and Dinosaur Facts. I really like the Mental Math skill for my five-year old daughter.

For myself, I use the Capital One skill, This Day in History and Random World Facts. I also have the TP-LINK Kasa and SmartThings skills enabled so I can control my switches, etc. via Alexa. In a future post, I’ll write instructions on how to setup your Smart Home devices with Alexa.

At this point, that’s pretty much all you can do with your Alexa, which is exciting because it’s only now becoming popular. Lots more skills are going to be written and Amazon is adding a lot of new features to the device. The cool thing is that everything is upgraded in the cloud, so the device gets smarter and better without any need for a hardware upgrade. If you have any questions, feel free to comment. Enjoy!
