Description
A Mac app for using Alexa.
Control your home devices, ask general questions, add and remove items to your shopping list, set timers and more. It is an Alexa implementation. On your desktop.
There are some things you should know before getting this app:
1. Not all audio content can be supported. Amazon don't allow third-party apps such as this app to play music, audio books or some daily-news content, and make announcements;
2. The app can listen automatically on launch;
3. If the weather or time are wrong, ensure you've enabled Location access in the Alexa app to the "Voice in a Can" device, and that you have granted Location permissions to the app on your phone;
4. You don't have to say "Alexa" ... just speak your command when the app is listening;
5. You can change the language that you speak and hear responses in, under "Settings". Only languages supported by Alexa are supported. The language should be set automatically.
If you have questions or any support issues please don't hesitate to email damian@voiceinacan.com ... you should get a response within 24 hours, and often in minutes.

What’s New
Version 2.13
* Added support for Arabic
* Updated the app icon to me more Mac-like (thanks Eric).
* Moved to using a menu-bar app and added a "Start Listening" Shortcut.
* If the app is already running and you use a keyboard shortcut it should start listening
Please email me at damian@voiceinacan.com if something doesn't work as you expect and I'll do my best to help.
Ratings and Reviews
Fastest way to use Alexa on iOS
I have been using this app for years and only just noticed I’ve never left a 5 star review. This is the number one app if you want to use Alexa on your phone or Apple Watch. Yes there is the offical Alexa app for iOS but this one loads 10x faster, has an app for Apple Watch and is so simple to use and setup. Highly Recommend this to anyone looking to use Alexa over Siri HomeKit.
Developer Response ,

I wish I'd discovered this earlier!!
Alexa rules my home and now s/he comes with me on my wrist as well...just about anything I can ask the 'house' to do, I can now ask Alexa on my Apple Watch to do...
Feed the cat ✓
Turn off all the lights ✓
Turn on the heat ✓
Thank you to the developer...it's one of those things you come across and think..."how did they get away with this?"
Perfect
Amazon Alexa should be available on the Watch as standard. This is almost as good. Now I can invoke "She who must obey" anywhere, anytime. It works with all my Skills and my Smart home accessories. It even offers an alternative to Siri on my Watch.
