This is aimed at eliminating a volume-related issue with smart home speakers. With Adaptive Volume, Alexa can now respond louder when it senses noise around you.<br \/>\nThe company says that the Adaptive Volume mode will allow Alexa to be comprehensible when there\u2019s plenty of background noise. This applies to the noise emanating from the television, a blow dryer, or any other noisy appliances.<br \/>\nAlexa can also adjust to quieter environments with a simple command<br \/>\nAdaptive Volume is currently available to customers in the U.S. Enabling it takes a simple command \u2013 \u201cAlexa, turn on adaptive volume.\u201d Alexa can also adjust its voice in quieter environments with a command like \u201cAlexa, turn on whisper mode.\u201d When enabled, Alexa will respond to commands with a whisper.<br \/>\nAs The Verge points out, Adaptive Volume isn\u2019t the same as \u2018Adaptive Sound\u2019 on the 4th gen Amazon Echo. Adaptive Sound uses the Echo\u2019s microphones to tailor the music or audio to sound a certain way depending on the room you\u2019re in. Adaptive Volume has a lot in common with Ambient IQ on Google Nest speakers.<br \/>\nAlexa has evolved a great deal since it was first unveiled several years ago. While Google has narrowed the gap since then, Amazon still enjoys a decent share of the smart speaker market thanks to its smart speaker lineup.<br \/>\nIn July, Alexa received the ability to set multiple custom phrases for set routines. This meant that users could add a couple of custom phrases for a single routine, offering more flexibility with commands. Amazon unveiled more new features coming to Alexa at its annual Alexa Live event.<br \/>\nApart from custom routines, the company announced the addition of Widgets on Alexa devices with screens such as the Echo Show 10 and older models. These widgets would promote Alexa skills built by developers. Meanwhile, developers can build Featured Skill Cards that promote their Alexa skill on the user\u2019s homescreen.<br \/>\nAnother major addition to Alexa\u2019s repertoire this year was a new Male voice known as \u2018Ziggy.\u2019 This serves as an alternative to the standard female Alexa voice.<br \/>\nThe post \u2018Adaptive Volume\u2019 Will Automatically Adjust Alexa\u2019s Volume in Noisy Environments appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Amazon-Alexa-app-UI-logo-AH-2020.jpg\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amazon is bringing a new feature known as \u2018Adaptive Volume\u2019 to its Alexa-powered smart home speakers lineup.
