If you’re in a room where a child has just fallen asleep, and someone else walks in, you might start speaking in a whisper, to indicate that you’re trying to keep the room quiet. The other person will probably start whispering, too.
We would like
Alexa to react to conversational cues in just such a natural, intuitive way, and toward that end,
Amazon last week announced Alexa’s new whisper mode, which will let Alexa-enabled devices respond to whispered speech by whispering back. (The U.S. English version will be available in October.)
