If Alexa does not generate the expected benefits, it will not be because of the great use that is made of it in all homes in Europe. Especially for some of its functions such as timers which can be used for cooking and more. It has now been updated so that you can say hello to the Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 10

Use the new gesture with Alexa
Via The Verge, we know that Amazon has updated the Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 10 so that with your own hand, and with a gesture that looks like a greeting, you can stop the timer.
That’s to say leaving the hand just in front from one of the Echo Show 8 (2nd Gen) or Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen), you can stop the current timer.
This is really a very important new feature for those moments that we are in the act and our fingers are dirty; this way we won’t have to click on the screen or even use our voice to stop a timer.
A novelty that arrives at the Echo Show when Google even already has gestures for stop or stop a song
Two other novelties
Accessibility is another of the important novelties of this update for the Echo Show. One is Consolidated captionsa way to enable three functions for subtitles on the Echo Show; In-call captionsin order to receive them in real time; Subtitles in order to read the text of any audio content of a video on the screen; Yes Alexa subtitles for the wizard’s answers.
The other big news is text to talk for smart displays so you can interact with Alexa from keys instead of voice, and also being part of accessibility.
What it really does is so type text on screen this will be said by the assistant aloud. A novelty designed for people with speech impairments. This latter feature is also coming to Fire tablets.
