Want to wake up every morning to Blake Shelton’s voice? Alexa can make it so

Sometimes, neither the strongest caffeine nor the noisiest alarm is enough to make you want to climb out of your warm, cozy, comfortable bed. Maybe waking up would be a little less painful and groan-inducing if you could wake up to the voice of People magazine’s reigning Sexiest Man Alive.

OK, full disclosure: It’s only a recording of his voice. But if you want Blake Shelton’s smooth country music harmonies to be the first thing you hear in the morning, you’re in luck. The coach on NBC’s The Voice has released two new Amazon Alexa alarm tones, and they’re exactly what you’d expect from the humorous singer — sassy and guaranteed to induce a chuckle. The alarm says, “Dang, is it time for a drink yet? I mean coffee? Time to get up, y’all!” There’s nothing like a reminder from the Sexiest Man Alive that a steaming mug of coffee is waiting for you in the kitchen to get you out of bed. Here’s a recording of what it sounds like.

So how do you enable the sweet, sweet voice of Blake Shelton to wake you up in the morning? If you own an Alexa-enabled Amazon device, simply open up your Alexa app and tap on Reminders and Alarms > Select a device > Alarms > Manage Alarm Volume and Default Sound > Custom Sounds > Celebrity and — finally — tap on the button that says “Blake Shelton.” And that’s all you have to do! With this setting selected, Shelton will be waking you up in his own inimitable way. He’ll be reminding you how he’d already be at work at this late hour. If that doesn’t get you out of bed, we don’t know what will.

The country singer is currently coaching aspiring singers in his 14th season of The Voice. At the same time, Shelton is promoting his latest album, Texoma Shore. One of his songs, “I’ll Name The Dogs,” was also recently nominated in the Academy of Country Music Awards’ Single Record of the Year category. If you don’t have a TV and can’t watch The Voice, you can still get your fill of this famous singer’s voice every single day.

You can now bank with your voice thanks to American Express’ new Alexa skill
hiveypie

Keeping tabs on your spending habits is onerous in and of itself (because who wants to know how much they spent on that outfit they just had to have or that extra dessert they just couldn't pass up). But now that you can check yourself using just your voice, basic financial responsibility is more feasible than ever. Last week, American Express launched its new Amex skill for Amazon Alexa, bringing "select experiences of AmericanExpress.com and the Amex mobile app to Alexa."

If you're an OPEN Card Member with an American Express ID and password, you can now link your online Amex account to the skill, allowing you to check your account balance, review recent charges, make a payment, and more through voice commands.

Watch out, Alexa: You can now make purchases on Google Home

While Google Assistant may have the leg up on contextual search capabilities, Amazon's Alexa has enjoyed a strong lead on the ability to make purchases. Google is catching up fast, though, as you can now make purchases with Assistant on Google Home.

The new functionality uses Google Express, the search giant's shopping and delivery service, but you can only place orders with "participating Google Express retailers" -- these include the likes of Costco, Whole Foods, Walgreens, PetSmart, Bed Bath & Beyond, and more than 50 other national and local retailers.

Alexa, call mom: Amazon and Google want to add voice calls to digital assistants
amazon echo google home adding phone kitchen

To add to an already extensive list of available features, Amazon and Google may soon include home phone functionality tied directly to their respective Echo and Home devices, granting them the ability to make and receive phone calls. According to the Wall Street Journal, such a move to include phone call compatibility would only further increase each device's relative control over its users' "digital lives at home."

A voice calling feature allows the Amazon Echo and Google Home devices to have other capabilities such as messaging, caller ID, and completely hands-free calls. The home phone capability remains a priority feature each company wants to add this year, however, they do face a few logistical challenges. On one hand, privacy stands as a chief concern, as people may not enjoy having conversations on a device capable of recording everything they say. Apparently, Amazon only gathers metadata about calls — like phone numbers and the lengths of calls — as opposed to the actual conversations themselves.
