Will it be able to answer questions my grandson who has a little speech impairment ask? He is always asking questions. null

Question

RayC · Accepted Answer

It should. My daughter is two and she asks it to play songs for her at night and it understands.

SirIke · Answer

The Alexa app has a training mode that will help with that.

I suggest taking him to the store and asking the attendant there to plug one in and let you demo it. It is fairly forgiving on speech impediments and will reply "I didn't quite understand that, can you repeat it?" or the like if it did not understand you.

I have noticed sometimes it doesn't understand questions so it may give a little problem if questions aren't asked clearly

ripa · Answer

It does learn... the more you interact with it the better it "knows" you so i think it would be worth trying

Scubachef · Answer

Alexa will learn your speech patterns

SOPHIEV · Answer

Maybe. If she doesn't understand, she'll tell you, but if you stand up close to it, she knows what you're saying. There have been a few things she just didn't know the answer to!

HasaraD · Answer

My daughter is difficult to understand at times for to a lisp (and laziness to speak clearly), and the Dot is 99% able to get what she says without repeating.

That is something you will have to try. It does adapt to your speech patterns and you can do an initial speech recognition in the setup through the app. I know people who have bought this for their family members who speech is not well due to a stroke and it helps them tremendously with light switches and lamps. After buying the Phillips HUE systems.

If it is just a little speech impairment, depending on the age, it should be fine. I have a 3 year old who calls it A-wexa and 90% it will detect her saying the name. She has also started and stopped music with it as well as turning lights on and off with it. Although it will only understand what she is asking for about half of the time.
