![]() ![]() ![]() Editing settings with a real keyboard, reading through the Echo’s information cards, and opening up those cards in a full web browser on a regular monitor is a big improvement over the constraints of a mobile device. The mobile app might be fine for a quick tweak here or there, but the web interface is vastly superior in terms of visual space and usability. When it comes to configuring the Echo or controlling it without voice commands, however, you need to use either the Alexa App (which Amazon promotes heavily) or the web-based interface (which they’re a bit quiet about). Alexa is a voice-based personal assistant, and for most tasks–like starting and stopping music, asking about the weather, and so on–it’s easiest just to summon Alexa with a command like “Alexa, what’s the weather forecast?” Most of your interaction with the Amazon Echo will be, by design, voice-based.
