Review on πŸš€ Unveiling the Game-Changer: Zero Touch - Limited Edition by Travis Filippi

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Alexa limited in car

I read reviews before purchasing and was pleasantly surprised at how well it works. My main complaint is that Alexa is limited in the car. The ZeroTouch app is very easy to use, but not as good as Google Assistant (ok Google). For example, "Go to MetLife Stadium" (home of the New York Jets and Giants) had three addresses, and none of them were correct. And unlike Google Assist, neither Alexa nor the app can access the addresses in my contacts. But ZeroTouch unlocks my phone so I can use Google Assist hands-free (well, just high five), it connects to my car phone quickly and easily, and I have access to Alexa, which is definitely better than Google. Things. Plus, Alexa can always be improved for in-car use. Voice recognition was much better than expected, even on the motorway with the air conditioning on, but the windows will likely need to be open and you might need to turn off the radio and fan. sometimes. In the car, I either have to turn off the Bluetooth so that the sound comes from the phone, or set the radio to "My Media" and listen to songs on the phone. And if I turn off the bluetooth, I can't use the car's bluetooth for calls. I can switch between radio and media, but it's not very navigable, and since I have to crank the phone's volume up, it buzzes when I switch to the radio if I forget to turn it down. .Some also suggest just getting Alexa Dot. The mic is definitely better, but the Dot doesn't have blue tooth, I don't have AV input, the phone needs to be set to an access point, and I need an AC/DC inverter to connect. Not a very good option for me.
