Amazon has taken the Alexa app for Windows 10 and 11 to Brazil. The PC form of the voice assistant operates similar to it will on the smartphone app in any country. Alexa offers the same mixture of features and speaks the Brazilian Portuguese put into its languages in 2023 if this first debuted in Brazil.
PC Voice
The Alexa app for PC is downloadable in the Microsoft Store. Once downloaded and activated, the Alexa app mimics the experience of its smartphone variant. The app includes Show Mode, which turns the computer into essentially a smart display. Users can awaken Alexa from the distance if the computer has far-field microphones. They are able to then request anything from making calls or sending messages, streaming audio and video content, or managing connected smart home devices. Any images or text are shown on the whole screen. If the app remains running, Show Mode can also be set to turn on automatically when the computer is untouched for some time.
“People use computers every single day for business and entertainment, and with the free Alexa PC app, they are able to, with a simple voice command, use the benefits of Alexa, ranging from basic features to thousands of skills,” Amazon Brazil country manager Talita Bruzzi Taliberti, said in a translated statement. “Artificial intelligence is simple to use for everyone, even for those people who are not so conscious of technology: you need to simply speak with Alexa. This new app has also made it simpler for customers to take Alexa anywhere, whether it’s changing rooms within their home, going to the office or on a holiday.”
Alexa Brazil
Amazon hasn’t shared specifics about Alexa’s success in Brazil after its 2023 release. Laptop computer Alexa app launch is really a positive sign, however. Additionally, it fits along with other Amazon efforts in the country, including selling Echo Buds there relatively early. Brazil is also so far the only country to host the Alexa Accessibility Awards, a contest for third-party Alexa developers working on making skills accessible for those with disabilities.
