I hate having an Australian accent, all the cool stuff you American's can use cannot make out what I'm saying, ever.

@Blash any ideas how I can create an IFTTT rule so that when I wake up on the 1st, Alexa reminds me to xyz? I was hoping IFTTT could detect when I'm up by looking at my cell phone activity (or screen on after xx am) Sent from my phone

I use the iPhone Calendar app to remind me of things similar which is linked to my Google Calendar and Alexa reads from my Google Calendar. So my iPhone alerts me of my events/appt and we ask "Alexa what's on the Calendar?"

An Australian accent Rocks bro! Australia Rocks! We have friends that about 4.5 years ago just up and moved their family to just outside Sydney chat with them on Viber all the time. There is voice training and that can be done with Amazon Echo for example so don't hesitate if you are interested.

@Blash I'm trying to figure out how to save some podcasts or stations from tunein to a favorites or a playlist, for example CNBC fast money and Bloomberg radio. Right now I have to either memorize the exact name or use the app to browse to it Sent from my phone

I use the Amazon Music app on this iPhone so Alexa can play from what is in my Amazon Music after asking no problem. Not exactly sure regarding station just yet.

This may come in handy for building Alexa Skills, something I plan to do.
