The Echo Dot is a great way to take music, podcasts, audiobooks and radio stations on vacation with you. Remember, you can also use Alexa to check what time it is at home, find out how long it'll take to walk somewhere, and perform currency conversions.Ī six-second press of the action button connects the Echo Dot to a new Wi-Fi network GearBrain That said, Alexa is entirely capable when you ask her to translate a language she knows, like Spanish or German. If you think your vacation will require some new language skills, I'd suggest packing a Google Home Mini, or using the Google Assistant app on your smartphone for when Alexa can't help. Google can even understand two languages at once for bilingual households, and can act as a translator or live interpreter, actively translating both sides of a spoken conversation between two people speaking different languages. Curiously, the Alexa smartphone app can help a little, by using Microsoft Bing to show some translations when asked - including English into Cantonese - but the translation appears on-screen in Chinese characters, with no English equivalent.Īmazon has a fair bit of catching up to do here, as the Google Assistant and Apple's Siri each have support for over 20 each.
