Does Alexa always listen to me?
No. When you sign into your Amazon account and accept the Terms and
Conditions, BLAST and MEGABLAST will begin listening for the Alexa wake word.
Only if the word “Alexa” is heard by the speaker will the device start recording
and pass your request to the Alexa Voice Services cloud. You can disable the
speaker from listening for the wake word either by enabling Alexa privacy mode
or by turning the speaker off. For more details see “How do I mute Alexa”.
Spotify can be played on Amazon’s Echo devices, but is not supported on most
devices from other manufacturers.
If you have the Spotify app on your mobile device, you can stream to your BLAST
or MEGABLAST over the Bluetooth connection.
BLAST and MEGABLAST are both far-field voice-enabled speakers and when
turned on, all you need to do is say, “Alexa” and then your request. The speaker
will automatically hear you and respond. If the speaker is turned off, you’ll need
to power it on for the far-field voice capability to work.
