Doctor. The daily 5 minute skill devotion. For everyone who's simply dotting about Alexa. Hey guys, let's talk about the A-Lady and privacy or what specifically getting her to forget things that you've said i.e.
your voice history. Now there's a new one that you can say now which is A-Lady, forget everything I've ever said. You can say that now and she will ask you and you can confirm and everything you've ever said to her will be forgotten. Note that Amazon says that this can impede how well she understands you because she does I think learn how you speak over time but you can certainly do that forget everything I ever said.
Now I think you can also say delete everything I ever said. Now you can do less extreme things if you've said something to her that for whatever reason you don't want her to remember you can say a let her say. Forget what I just said. Okay, I'll delete any recordings from the last 10 minutes.
Okay. You can go one level further and you can say a let her say forget everything I said today. You'd like to delete the recordings of everything said to me today. Is that right?
Yes. Okay, I'll leave them. Now on a slightly different vein you can ask her to say what she just heard and that's important when or useful when she's said something weird done some weird thing or maybe she's just been triggered by you not even asking her anything and in those cases you can say say what you just heard so I'll ask her you know for the time. Okay, so what's the time?
The time is 631 p.m. Hello, sir. Tell me what you just heard. I heard.
What's the time? You say there you go. So if you pipes up for a mysterious reason I'll give you a really bizarre answer to what you asked then you can ask her to confirm what she thinks you said. On a similar vein if she does something strange you can say why did you do that?
A let her say. Why did you do that? I thought I heard a request to read back the last thing you said. Which is true.
Okay then brilliant. Now you can also go into the settings and then tap on Alexa privacy and then tap on manage your Alexa data and in there you can tap on automatically delete recordings and you can set a time limit one day one month 18 months whatever it is you like and then you won't have to say that to her anymore unless of course you say something really controversial and you do want her to instantly forget that. I'm not sure what this history is going to mean except that she will improve how she speaks to you and how she understands you but for peace of mind you may well want to do this. Okay, this is Robin signing off speaking into my
