Alexa, hurry up! Amazon now lets you change the talking speed of the smart speaker

Amazon customers can now adjust the speed of Alexa's voice to make the virtual assistant speak quicker or slower. Beginning today, customers in the US can ask the voice-activated smart speaker to converse slower or faster, depending on their needs. Bosses at the online company have created seven different settings – the standard speaking rate, four faster options and two slower modes. Users can simply simply say'Alexa, speak slower,' or'Alexa, speak faster' to adjust these. They can also reset it by asking it to respond at the default rate.
