Amazon Alexa is now accessible on the Microsoft Store.

on
If you're using Windows 10 or 11, you can now get Amazon Alexa from the Microsoft Store. This enables you to utilize the voice assistant on your PC without an Amazon Echo device.


Once installed, Alexa lets you perform various tasks effortlessly. You can play music, set reminders, control smart home devices, and more.


An advantage of having Alexa on your PC is the hands-free operation. Just say "Alexa" followed by your command, and Alexa will respond. This is particularly helpful when you're occupied with typing or in a video call.





Another benefit is enhanced productivity. You can set reminders, schedule appointments, and even make voice calls using Alexa on your PC.


Naturally, using Alexa on your PC has limitations. Some features that require an Amazon Echo device, like Drop In or home announcements, won't be available.
