Tune in to the latest episode of Echo Tips where we discuss Amazon’s recent decision to discontinue its celebrity voices for its virtual assistant. We’ll cover the launch of the feature in 2019 with Samuel L. Jackson’s voice and the addition of Shaq and Melissa McCarthy. We’ll also talk about what this means for users who paid for these voices and what we think the future holds for custom voices on the Amazon Echo. And how AI is going to make our Alexa devices smarter than ever.
